Yes, if you have the registered version you can shroud your 
includes. Anyone can use them, even if they are running the 
public domain version.

That was one of the compelling features that got me 
interested in Euphoria in the first place. The reasons 
you don't see any shrouded source on the RDS site are:

1. Euphorians are generous, and willing to share their 
   code, and 
2. Nobody wants a 'virus' attack. (see: Nate)

For commercial products, shrouding (and scrambling) 
is a handy feature. It keeps people from mucking about 
with your working code. I don't care if they see how it 
works, I just don't want anyone to make a "simple" 
change which could cause problems at some later point.
