Hi Francis, As I understand it: what you CAN'T do with the 6 free version is to submit applications to the AppleStore (and generally sell or distribute applications without giving access to your code). What you CAN do with the 6 free version is to benefit of all the upcoming evolution of LC, and even dig in the code itself (through GitHub). What you CAN'T do is to keep your code encrypted and protected by password when you distribute or sell it… With the 5.5 version, you can submit applications to the AppleStore, and generally sell applications with password protected code. I'm sure that Runrev will provide arrangements or compensation for people like you (and me) who code mostly for fun and did pay a commercial license.
