How can I protect my PL/SQL source code?

How can I protect my PL/SQL source code?
PL/SQL V2.2, available with Oracle7.2, implements a binary wrapper for
PL/SQL programs to protect the source code. This is done via a standalone
utility that transforms the PL/SQL source code into portable binary object
code (somewhat larger than the original). This way you can distribute
software without having to worry about exposing your proprietary algorithms
and methods. SQL*Plus and SQL*DBA will still understand and know how to
execute such scripts. Just be careful, there is no "decode" command
available.
The syntax is:
wrap iname=myscript.sql oname=xxxx.yyy
