Dear all,

Some time ago, I released an app for iPhone and got a lot of negative feedback, 
because the app wasn't free. Fortunately, I also received positive feedback 
from people who understood that I can't give everything away if making it costs 
me money. Still, the noise caused by people who believed they can claim a right 
to free software pretty much spoiled the fun for me and I decided I had to do 
something about this.

I decided that I had to find a way to determine which software is valued and 
appreciated by the LiveCode community. I also needed a way to lock out those 
who believe to have a right to demand free stuff. The solution I have come up 
with is paid access to sheltered downloads. This system allows me to provide 
better free software and helps me to have more fun creating software for the 
LiveCode community. The fun part is hugely important to me.

Most LiveCode software available from Economy-x-Talk, such as libraries and 
plugins, is still free. However, to obtain access to the free downloads, you 
are required to make a small financial contribution. You can decide by yourself 
how much you would like to contribute. I'd be happy to consider your 
contribution a token of mere appreciation. It is not meant as a fee for license 
or support. Once you have made your contribution, an account is created for you 
and you get access to the downloads.

An overview of all currently available downloads is available at 
http://qery.us/zr with the latest addition being the extSetBadgeNumber external 
for iOS. This external allows you to add a red circle with a white number (also 
called a badge) to the icon of your application in the iPhone home screen. The 
external is currently being tested but seems to work fine so far. Go to 
http://qery.us/zs to create an account and download the external.

I look forward to sharing more of my creations with you and thank you for your 
understanding.
