Hmmm. In what way? Standard rules apply: it's made with RR, so it
would have to say so; you can't claim you wrote it, it's Jerry's
original work
Was just wondering about the clause that forbids us to make an IDE.
Section 4L is the "Digital Chisel" clause, and while it does prevent
shipping "created software" that's marketed as a RAD tool, offers a
scripting language, or edit LiveCode scripts on its own, that section
also explicitly exempts from those prohibitions anything that requires a
LiveCode license to run:
l) You are prohibited from creating or distributing Created Software
to be used and marketed as a generic rapid application development
tool. Any Created Software that you produce that requires the end
user to use a Licensed Edition of the LiveCode Software will not be
considered as being prohibited, nor will any Created Software that
does not involve any sort of script editing. You are also prohibited
from creating or distributing Created Software with the primary
purpose of being used as a generic Player application for Created
Software built with any edition of LiveCode that does not include
the desktop standalone building capability. This clause is intended
to prevent you from using the LiveCode Software to produce something
that is directly damaging to our business. In the event that either
you or RunRev determines that your software is in such competition,
you must withdraw the Created Software immediately. It is agreed
that producing software that is in competition with the LiveCode
product could cause irreparable harm and injury and RunRev will be
entitled, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have
at law or in equity, to an interdict, injunction or other similar
relief enjoining or restraining you from doing or continuing to
distribute such Created Software.
So it looks like MetaCard is safe. ;)
And GLX too.
