you just use Open Source MetaCard and save the money?  The biggest
difference between Open Source MetaCard and Revolution will be the extra
add-ons that Rev gives and the price tag.  For most users, the extra
add-ons, help, support, and documentation would be worth the money.  But
Open Source MetaCard could end up developing quite a following, too,
couldn't it?  Some open source projects have gone on to become very
successful...

Am I reading this situation correctly?

With one important distinction: without a registration code, you are restricted to a 10-line script limit. The open-source IDE will have to allow for users to register a paid version of the engine to break the script limitation. So while the engine is free, and the MC IDE will be open-source, use of the free IDE will be limited without a registration number.
