Let me jump in on this. The license is the license, and although runtime
staff and employees may offer some interpretation, that interpretation
doesn't limit the actual written license.

If you create a player that can open any Rev stack other than your own, it
may be a violation of the license - but there is nothing stopping you from
putting reasonable limits into your software player to ensure that its only
used with your own software.
