Interesting, but I think here (use-livecode list) is not the place;
you should talk to Heather and Kevin: support (at) livecode.com. :)
They would have more relevant answers to your questions.

Nor should you! LC is still here. Grab a license, join the fun.
At $10/month, anyone who can afford to send email can use LC.

Meanwhile some cool new stuff is coming out soon,
both from LC itself and from users like me.

Best wishes,

Improving the Community Edition with external tools

[Heriberto Torrado via use-livecode]

Dear Livecode experts,

I'm working on creating / merging / compiling some Golang external tools 
to be used with the Livecode Community Edition (I know nothing about 
C++, just, Go, JS, and Livecode).


So, the Livecode Community programs can call external and independent 
programs to access databases, SSH servers, encryption stuff, etc..
Using this technique we can jump over the non-included encryption 
options of the Livecode Community version and we can improve it.


These "tools" will have a BSD License.
These tools will work on Windows, Mac & Linux (and maybe on Android & 
IOS in the future).


My intention is also to publish documentation on how to use these tools.
These programs will be completely separate from the Livecode, so as far 
as I know they do not have to be distributed using the GPL license.
Is that true? If yes, we can use the Livecode Community Version to 
create semi-commercial software.


Another question:

Do we already have a virtual place to meet those users who want to fork 
the Community Edition?


PS, I tried to move from Livecode to Fyne (Golang graphic tool), but it 
is still very limited and I don't like Flutter because I see that Dart 
programming language is only used with Flutter (Dart server is almost 
dead). Livecode has been my favorite RAD for 8 years and I don't want to 
throw away all that time and knowledge.
