The Standalone Application Settings window in the standard Indy LiveCode 
does show an HTML5 panel, but it also says "Your license does not 
include HTML5 deployment entitlement." That's why I reinstalled the 
Community edition alongside the Indy one.

I don't know what the difference is between the Community edition's 
HTML5 abilities and the Business edition, but it stands to reason that 
there is something. :) Protecting/passwording code would make a lot of 
sense: not locking code fits in with the general ethos of the open 
source Community version, just as the ability to lock code is a 
significant benefit for those publishing commercial products. I'd really 
like to see the vanilla version of Indy given the Community level of 
HTML5 ability too rather than have to keep another near-gig-sized app 
around just for that! :D
