The kickstarter thing and animationEngine

[Monte Goulding]

That's great Malte. Th GPL version will have some great plugins available freely already between SQLYoga, AE, Jan's libraries and Andre's libraries. I'm still considering my position on this but it's likely I'd gradually move to dual licensing too. This GPL version really will be a massive boon for the LiveCode community.

This will mean, you will get to see all the scripts I wrote for it over the past 7 years (shortly after a cleanup phase. Need to remove all those german swearing comments, unless somebody is really interested in those. <g>)

If someone will want to use it commercially they will still be needing a license to do so. I have been asked how I was going to police that. Well, I trust honest people will be honest and if AE saves them time in a commercial app, they will want to keep its development alive by purchasing a license. Pretty straightforward.
