no way - you could try to frighten him so much that he is afraid to
touch anything. Or you could educate him so that he can creatively
touch some parts of it and ease your burden of support and
maintainence. Also enter into a proper license agreement with him so
that he doesnt redistribute or hijack your ideas and your code. In
the long run, if you follow this course, you will find that you will
be able to serve your customers more effectively
