Hi Peter,
It is open source and therefore the author doesn't need to be
compensated and yes RunRev has access to that code. If RunRev decides to
use the new code, they have to provide the new engine as open source,
which you might consider a form of compensation for everyone who has
contributed any code.

Apologies if this has already been discussed but I have a licensing question
Fast forward a few months, the code base is open source and the free
version of LC is available. Someone adds a feature to to the open source
(not me, I have no C++ knowledge). People using the free
version obviously have access to it.
Does RunRev have access to the code for that feature to include in the
commercial version of Livecode? If so, do they have an obligation to
compensate the original author of the code?
