How to protect the code from being stolen by a freelancer?

Question

Licenses for software and other works

Hello! I am developing a program, but in some places my skills are lacking, in connection with this, it was decided to turn to a freelancer, how to protect the code from theft in this case?

Answer 1

in a simple case - no way, or you have to divide your program into such parts that:
1. a freelancer could work with them, i.e. the result of the work of these parts is available to him
2. the freelancer could not see the source code of these parts.

Answer 2

It is worth considering whether a freelancer really needs your code?
