I found a package Pack that has this structure:

ClearAll["Pack2`*"];  
BeginPackage[ "Pack2`"]
...
Begin["`Private`"];
...
End[]
Protected["Pack2`"];
EndPackage[]

What does Protected["Pack2`"]; do at the whole package? I read here, but it didn't help me.

    $\begingroup$ Protected["Pack2`"]; does nothing. I guess that the author of the package wanted to write Protect["Pack2`*"];, but made a typo. $\endgroup$

For the record:

Protected["Pack2`"]; does nothing. I guess that the author of the package wanted to write Protect["Pack2`*"];, but made a typo.

Protect["context`*"] protects all symbols in a particular context.
