Trying to make economic sense of open sourcing livecode

[Monte Goulding]

It would need to be an external to do that as far as I can tell. It would be nice to be able to create a derivative engine and maintain it as a separate fork that could still be used by commercial LC license holders but I think to do that you would need to come to license terms per app with runrev and release as a separate product. Personally unless something his highly specific I hope people just contribute back to the main fork to improve the platform.

Cheers
