There was no limit to the number of lines in a given frontScript,
backScript, or library in terms of execution.
But when setting an object's script, the total number of executable
lines had the same limit as for "do": ten executable lines, in any
handler, comments and line wraps excluded.

It was only 10 lines of *new* code, either through "do" or setting an
object's script. Both of those are fairly specialized cases, which is
why we've not heard much of an uproar about scriptLimits in the 15+ year
they were in place.
Any amount of code written in a licensed development environment prior
to building the standalone has always been allowed.
And as Mark Wieder noted: "Last time I looked in the code, the script
limits were commented out"
...so it looks like this is all just ancient history anyway.
(Thanks for that, Mark)
