LiveCode is going Open Source!

What do you guys thinks about this?

From what I can see I think it's a good thing in the long run but it sure hurts knowing the I paid for the most expensive package just a couple of months ago.

Here's hoping the best for this new direction.

The "most expensive" package allows deployment of proprietary apps, while apps depoyed under the Community Edition will inherit the GPL license.

Unless you plan to deploy all of your own apps as open source, very little changes for you with this new initiative.
