I have a feeling that this thread will end up in a very long one again... The only point I will make is the fact to deploy only on IOS then $999 is a lot for the so called "Hobby brigade" or the "Poor boys".
A lot about this issue has already been said on http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=26710&p=141462&hilit=licensin g#p141462 Regards, Erik Sent from solidit -----Original Message----- From: use-livecode [mailto:use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com] On Behalf Of RM Sent: zondag 1 mei 2016 09:41 To: How to use LiveCode <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> Subject: Re: Standalones on el Capitan? Please do not mention my roof: I was up there after a few really violent April showers messing around with a blow torch on the tar-paper - and I'm scared of heights. Nobody is going to spin me the vast amount required to RENT Livecode Commercial. AND I really DON'T want to RENT anything: I want to buy a commercial version that will stand me in as good stead as LC 4.5 IS still doing. So, let's turn this from a discussion about Richmond's roof to one about how the Livecode folk imagine they are going to get the "Hobby brigade" and the "Poor boys" to buy/rent any type of Livecode other than the Free version at the current prices they are asking . . . . Let's also have a "chew" about rental versus ownership. There have been some rumblings, but I don't think this has ever been really addressed fully. I wonder if by doing 2 things almost at the same time: 1. Producing an Open Source, Free version. 2. Hiking the price of the commercial version sky-high. Livecode won't end up doing something which they probably did not intend. I thought (and, hey, I've been wrong many times) that they general idea was that developers who might want to protect code developed using the Free version might be prepared to buy/rent the protected version. However, a very large number of developers may not be pulling in the money at a sufficient rate for the to feel comfortable to shell out the high price of a commercial version. This argument begins to resemble the one I banged on about for ages in the DreamCard days . . . Richmond.
