Livecode Future

[Riko Abadi]

I have developed an Android application using LiveCode which I use for my
web hosting business. Customers can monitor their servers through the
Android app created with LiveCode. Do I have to pay 5% of my total web
hosting revenue? My backend is built with Golang, not a LiveCode server.
