I don't know what your legal options would be if someone took code
that you went and showed them, versus code that they had to actively
discover through reverse engineering (however easy or difficult it
would be), but perhaps the former is easier to defend.
Your legal options are the exact same as for people who work in the
printed word business. You can't "compile" a book -- so by default you
get the "source code".
If someone violates your copyrights by copying some of your work into
their own books, you can take them to court and sue for damages (in
most countries, at least). Source code is no different.
