New(?) Idea for Standalones

[John Balgenorth]

And another good reason not to kick sand in LC’s face is they appear
to be the only ones who have invested the money and time for the
free community version to exist as it is today with the many features
it has now.  Think about if before you become so cheap & selfish that
you try to destroy them.

The reason these clauses are there is to ensure we don't end up in a situation where we only ever sell one LC license a year: to a person who creates and distributes a player app and an automated build service using a business license to spit out standalones for everyone else who is using Community.

However, this is probably best done by improving the standalone building process (i.e. making it as easy as possible) rather than anything else.
