Correct.  I wrote part of that explanation, but deleted it as more
than most would want.

Specifically, the author of the piece would breach the license of
LiveCode Community by
distributing an executable without so licensing it and providing the source.

Nonetheless, the executable could not be freely distributed by the
user as the license to
do so wouldn't exist.
