revOnline and Open Source

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi,

Yes, the license of the community version does infect executables built with it, but not automatically. The author still has to include the license with the software and if s/he doesn't do that, copright applies automatically and the author would be violating LiveCode's open source license.
