Hi Monte, I'm still somewhat confused by GPS licensing for plugins, especially helpers like my lcStackbrowser. It's purely a dev tool, nothing to be included in a standalone. I'm under the impression I cannot charge for it under the GPS license. In the scenario where debs use the gel version and only buy a commercial license, it seems it's dead in the water.
It is password protected but I've benn considering dropping that since LC does not provide a way to intercept runtime errors and do something other than display the script password prompt.
