Differences between Commercial and Community versions of LiveCode

[Lagi Pittas]

Never tried it for Livecode because as in my previous message - Just encode
their name - you dont even have to tell them its encoded
but check on boot up - which I do and wait 6 Months and then tell them -
that will F**Ck them up when they thought they got away with it.

Revenge is a dish best served cold ;-)

I know it worked with a VB program years ago and the DLL's - but that was
to make the executables smaller

Since its open source and actively updated why don't you tell them - In
fact I might  probably use it on my LC9 executables even though I have
indy/business because they are 3 times larger than my LC6 executables.
