In those cases the engine may not be able to enforce the GPL requirements, but
they remain just the same:
You cannot redistribute software that includes closed source
libraries with the open source version of LiveCode. Anything
that is part of your application must be made available under
the same GPL license.

A stackfile does not include closed source libraries unless we put them there.
Once we do we can't expect it to be opened in the GPL version if they are
password protected. This is one reason many addon developers will move to dual
licensing.
Hopefully, yes.
There may be some works governed by incompatible licenses which are not
password-protected, so we'll want to review the licenses for any
libraries we use to ensure they're GPL-compatible.
