Hi Sannyasin,

Your assumption is correct: you can provide the
'heavier' framework and let them make their own
10-line scripts. They will not be able to change the
longer scripts, but these will work just fine -- as
long as there are no syntax errors ;-)
Only MetaCard and/or Runtime Revolution can explain
about the legal details of course, but technically
it's feasible. Though as Bill Gray pointed out, that
limit may seriously hinder performance.

Hope this helped nonetheless,
Jan Schenkel.
