Not sure what the license is for (whatever) but PHP is FOSS... 

BTW I didn't say they weren't going to do a commercial version of the server... just that it might reasonably be seen as a low priority. LiveCode hasn't got a massive user base... the percentage of users using server is small... the percentage that really need commercial server would be only a handful. The percentage of those that can't continue to use the last available commercial version given there's really no features added? are there any?
