Well I see only two solutions then.

1) Stop making free for link style scripts unless you don't mind getting ripped off. In which case it's more a matter of taking your lumps and dealing with it.
2) Make your script a commercial script. If it's good enough to rip off why not charge for it?

Also as someone else said, most people that remove links from free scripts are small fish. If they were serious about their rep and worth 3 fucks then they would not risk being outed for ripping off a script. This does not describe webmasters as a whole.
