You will have to release it as commercial-only if you want any rent at 
all in the form of money.

If, however, you want a universally stronger Livecode you can release it 
as Open Source.

I have a feeling you don't entirely understand the Open Source paradigm; 
there isn't all that much
point in asking these sort of questions as people like Richard Stallman 
have already answered them
a very long time ago (well, at least time for his beard to grow down to 
his knees - LOL).
