Licensing

[Andrew Kluthe]

No, I think it would have to use the same license as livecode in this
situation as all applications made with community edition are required to
comply as well. Unless, runrev makes an exception and allows you to run
non-gpl plugins in their gpl ide (stacks made by commercial version but
used in the community version?).

Seems like a lot of people solve this by making the commercial version have
more current feature sets or better support than the community editions.
