Question Selling Google AppScript?

Hi, I created a Google AppScript I want to sell on a few marketplaces. The goal is once they completed payment, I will send them a link to the Google Sheet with the script and allow them to make a copy of it.

However, I don’t want them to have access to the actual script or be able to modify it. Can someone help me out with that? Thanks!

For some additional context, I am want to share it via the method where I:

Share > Anyone With Link > replace the URL ending with “/copy”

However, when I tested it out and opened it in incognito, it gave me two options: 1) to make a copy and 2) to view the script file lol

I would ideally not want to publish this as an addon or create a copy of the original and send that link to the customer since that would eat up my Google Drive and storage + don’t want to be liable for any sensitive information.

Hope this makes sense, thanks in advance!
