RE : issue : does livecode consider that all illustrative material & text etc
in a stack to their view fall under GPL

No, in my case I've got a project that is related to "publishing" some music
practice apps.
So cards that contain audio elements, and copyright material like songs,
music scores
and also pictures, videos & texts (subject to copyright).

So all coding would be available to all of course. But these copyrighted
elements will not be GPL compatible because as simple as it is french law
does not allow an author to push away his copyrights.

Hence the question above. Does livecode "interprets" all contents as being
per se GPL work when "attached" to a stack in the community version?

And I'm sure that the answer will interest more than one person. And for me
I just have to know where I put my feet. it' not just for the sake of making
a fuss about something, and I thank you for.. getting the feel of the air on
the subject. We have to know that.
