Okay, I think I follow that. It seems like a very specific case in that you could just not share the software publically and then there's no conflict. It sounds like the public use of the compiled software is a nice-to-have.
Maybe in the case that you want to let the world use the software in its compiled form, but only share the source with a few individuals, you could host the software as a web app. That way people could interact with it without ever needing a copy. You could also pay Livecode to host the web app, thus sending some money their way at the same time.
