"A bit like devs are being milked" seems a somewhat extraordinary statement. LiveCode is a business, with expenses and a stable of highly skilled and valuable developers.
I meant this in the traditional 'online pushy chatty' manner, not as an actual accusation. I apologise fully, I expressed myself badly. Mea maxima culpa.
From the point of view of those of us who have seen the product's full evolution it has unarguably moved into a very different realm as far as charges are concerned. I have a natural and ingrained dislike of ongoing costs, in part because I'm an old industry fart and in part because I use a *lot* of different software and use the vast majority on an occasional basis so I prefer to buy rather than rent in order to keep a lid on my outgoings. (The only ongoing 'rent' payment models that I have are with Adobe and LiveCode. Both are valuable to me, although not really in the financial sense. I am indy in many senses of the word!)
I am still disappointed that HTML5 turned out to be not part of the regular set of Indy output options. I may well have misunderstood this from the start... it won't be the first time. :-/
