I'm small, though.

Far larger than hobbyist; will probably become a company with a
half-dozen employees and a few million a year in revenue (more than
$2M; less than $10M).

Maintaining/modifying LiveCode itself would be more expensive than
redeveloping for another platform.

A collective effort to maintain the commercial codebase, though, would
be another story.

OK, planning for one's own unwanted demise is not pleasant, but I do
estate planning law, too :)
