Commercial Indy License for HTML5

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Brahmanathaswami ,

I don't have the slightest idea. LiveCode's HTML5 website doesn't seem 
to provide any information about it. I'm a little worried that they will 
use a CGI engine in the same way as Xojo does. The engine and the stack 
would be compiled into a CGI engine, which then produces Javascript that 
can render the website in the browser. That would be a show stopper for 
me, because shared servers often don't allow installation of additional 
CGI engines.

If they don't use a CGI engine, I don't see how the HTML5 website could 
be closed source. As Ralph writes, it is true that the Javascript will 
probably be obfuscated or just too big to be interpreted by the human 
reader, but that doesn't stop anyone from reading the source code and 
converting it to something readable --LiveCode is a big project too, but 
apparently it can still be read :-)

Then again, the text of the license might just contain some phrase, 
which obliges any big company to publish the stacks in downloadable 
form, unless the company has a commercial license.

Anyway, I couldn't find any info about this and that bugs me. I have no 
idea if I should give a little money.
