sorry for the plug < www.revdevelop.com >  is that something like what  
you were talking about?


> lower end version has gone *back* to being free

yup.. when Rev first came out (and MetaCard was still around) there  
was a free starter kit version that allowed you full access to the IDE/ 
language with a 10-line script limit, and you were able to build  
standalone too..


Personally I think the ability to lock stacks is a great way for  
people to share them and not have to worry about having code lifted..  
Here is a nice example:

- someone downloads revMedia and develops some little stacks here and  
there and releases them with source unlocked
- after a couple of months they get the hang of Rev and are looking at  
upgrading to Studio (or even Enterprise), but sadly funds are short  
and they cannot afford to (starving student, shareware authour, etc ;-)
- they write a really cool library that some people have been asking  
for on the mailing list

at this point if they were not able to password protect it, there is  
no way you would be able to sell the library because people could go  
in and remove your demo code, etc, etc.. password protection of the  
library will allow that person to sell their library, get some money  
and upgrade their copy of Rev (or buy something for their mom)
