No. I obfuscate it all before I upload it. Call me paranoid. Not only is it a risk to have the code compromised, but if sufficient steps aren't taken to control access to trade secrets, then they can't be called trade secrets. IP has value.

I've never heard of someone losing trade secret protections because the security of their hosting provider was compromised. Have you?
No, but it is necessary to show that every effort has been made to protect the trade secrets and obfuscating code is one step in that direction.

I am no lawyer, but that's what the lawyers told me.
