Livecode Future - End User Cost Extravaganza

[Skip Kimpel]

Wow… just catching up on this thread, and I have to say, I am more confused than ever!  Not sure the licensing model needed to be this complicated and questioning if LC even knows who its end user is and what we are developing.  I don’t mean to be trouble here, and I am probably misconstruing fact / speculation.  If so, I apologize.

Having said that, one should take notice at radical licensing model change failures, such as Unity.  There are lessons to be learned out there.

For the record, I love LC and its power and simplicity.  I hope this all works out in the short term (and long term!)

Best regards,

SKIP KIMPEL
