Is it alright to use closed source and/or commercial software to produce
components used in Open Source software, for instance:
1. I produce something using the Livecode Open Source variant, but use
Adobe Photoshop to produce all the graphics.
Graphics aren't bound to the executable code, so there's no conflict
with the GPL.
That said, GIMP is a wonderfully capable tool, and with it's new
single-window UI is easy to work with and more than adequate for most needs.
2. I include a substack in my Livecode OS-authored standalone that was
made using the commercial variant.
The GPL-governed Community Edition enforces its GPL requirements by not
being able to run stacks made with the Commercial Edition.
