This doesn't suprise me, and appears to be consistent with what other OSS
tools experience. Will LCB encourage/enable more community involvement?
We shall see...

Hi,
With Kickstarter, the income from the crowdsource efforts are considered
sales incomes as there often are real benefits and products being traded
with the various transactions.
Make a donation of sorts and get a new prototype thingie, even if it is
only a promise of a thingie yet to be built

Approximately 75% of LiveCode users are using the open source edition
and do not have an active subscription
HI Mike
Yes bottom line it was a donation not Income. I still think reading those
links I sent would give some ideas.
I think we have a lack of marketing ideas at head office (don't mention the
war- sorry website!!!) Looks good
but form without function. - look at XOJOs I say again that's how i
It is completely different. VAT comes off the top line, like an excise
tax. Income tax comes off the bottom line. Therefore, if a firm is
plowing funds into development, it can be at or below 0 on the bottom line,
therefore the tax on the funds would be zero, and depending on its previous

It doesn't seem much different from how it works in the States - from

VAT is really only an issue here in the UK. We get VAT numbers from most
companies in the EU which takes it out and it does not apply to the rest
of the world. So in % terms its tiny on this campaign. The cost of
attempting to mess around with this sort of structure however would not be
insubstanti
That would also save on the fees that we get charged Over Here when we send
money Over There.

I wonder if an inversion with the US being the collection point would help,
since there is no VAT, here. It still seems weird that there would be VAT
on fundraising, where the contributor is not receiving any in-kind benefit,
other than more awesomeness, but for the Community version, that doesn't
Dear all,
I’m currently trying to adapt an old stack to LC 8, and among other things I’m
trying to use the browser widget. My question: how to replace the good old
‘revBrowserCallScript’ command ? It is surely absolutely evident, but not for
my poor old brain…
Thanks in advance !

Hi There are a few of these companies about.
http://www.spi-inc.org/

As a stepping stone attaching your sails to a few of these might even
spread the word.
They not only seem to allow donations for specific projects but also have a
fund that they share for who needs it
Hi,
Just read my first message here. Seems I need to proofread before sending
but I was rather annoyed when I sent that. It looks like I can't edit a
post (obviously) .
But how do you use this thing to answer a post.
but I didn't receive my post in my inbox so that I could reply to it - is

Lagi: We aren't thrilled about having to pay VAT either. However, doing it
through Kickstarter would not have avoided this. It is not a charity and
pledges through it are liable for VAT. We paid VAT on the Kickstarter we did
back in 2013. We did factor in VAT on the campaign when we started.
