If I remember correctly JB you are on Mac, so maybe a better question would be what happens if you go out of business. If an architectural firm buys 20 Mac Pros + 20 Thunderbolt Display + 20 copies of AutoCAD LT which currently run at U$899.99 a pop, and tomorrow that business went bust how much is that U$18,000 software purchase worth... $0*. Some day, accountants, and individuals are going to realise that every purchase they make through the App Store or iTunes (so not just software but music and movies as well) is instantly worth $0 because Apple allows now way for you to fire sale your software, music and movies. * Actually it's worse than that. You don't have to go out of business all you have to do is change your address - to a new country. There have been many cases where individuals have moved country only to discover when they arrive and update their Apple ID info, large amounts of their App Store/iTunes purchases have disappeared forever. http://www.macworld.com/article/2029991/crossing-borders-with-the-itunes-store.html I don't think Runrev care about where you live, so if you are sleeping at night with the license agreement you have with Apple I can't see why you are worried about Runrev's license _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
