LiveCode Personal Banner

[Jeff Massung]

I'm just going to pop in and point out that LiveCode isn't the only product
that does this with personal edition development tools. In fact, LiveCode is
actually awesome in that it will let you build a standalone. Most personal
use development software only allow you to run from within the IDE and even
limit you on memory/heap space and the length of time your application can
run for.

Technically, aside from the fact that you want to be honest, there's nothing
preventing you from distributing your standalones to others for money. The
banner - at least in part - guarantees that if you did, RunRev would still
get something ("free" advertising) out of the arrangement.

I can see that it's annoying, and perhaps 10 seconds is an egregious period
of time to wait (probably 2-3 would be sufficient), but it far from out of
line or the norm.
