Can anyone explain what the situation would be with open source, LiveCode 
server and revigniter? 
I sure I don't understand something basic about how open source works - I think 
I get it in terms of distributed software, but what about code that lives on a 
server?

If I currently create a web app for a client using LiveCode server then I can 
keep the code files private - and that's good. But what about the following 
situations?

Scenario A: If in the future if I create a web app under a professional licence 
from RunRev then I guess I can still keep code I write private - but do I need 
to keep my licence current with RunRev in order to do so? Or if I let the 
licence lapse at some time in the future do I then need to make it public? 

Scenario B: If in the future I create a web app using LC server and want to do 
it under the free licence - do I really have to let everyone see the code that 
runs the website?

Also, what about revigniter, is it the same as with LC server or do any special 
conditions apply?

In all of the above scenarios there will be lots of things in the code on the 
server that I would want to keep private.

I hate this legal stuff - what am I missing and can someone explain how it can 
be open source whilst still being secure?

Kind regards

Dave
