My understanding is that the license period covers the use of the IDE, 
and that once an app made with has been deployed there is no time limit 
on the standalone.

I think pretty much everyone wants to see the same thing:  for all of us 
to use LiveCode productively at as little cost as practical.

The current pricing structure appears to strive for a balance with 
predictable cash flows, in which everyone making money with LiveCode 
contributes a small portion of that back to the core dev team to keep 
the joint running, smaller companies making less money contribute less, 
and those interested in proliferating free software under the GPL are 
invited to do so at no cost under the LiveCode Community Edition.
