Dear List Members,
We are hugely excited to be launching this project today:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1755283828/open-source-edition-of-livecode
Join our campaign to make a full version of LiveCode that is free and open for
everybody to use. We are doing this via a Kickstarter fundraiser, and we need
your help. If we are successful, between us we can change the face of
programming forever.
Open Source LiveCode means
- Free access for teachers
- Free access for students
- Free access for hobbyists and enthusiasts
- A headstart for professionals
I know that many of you on this list will welcome this initiative, and the
benefits it will bring. You have been long time users and supporters of
LiveCode. Today we're asking you, especially, to get behind us once again. We
are aiming to bring LiveCode to hundreds of thousands of new users, removing
the price barrier and making easy access programming available to everyone.
RunRev will be working in tandem with the community to guide and drive this
project forward for many years to come. LiveCode will have a dual license
system. Commercial licensing will still be available allowing you to
distribute closed source apps. Open Source LiveCode will be free under the GPL
3 license. You will be able to contribute back to the engine. Development on
LiveCode and the addition of all the special features each of you wants becomes
an order of magnitude faster.

Please, if you want to see programming become the new literacy, get behind this
project! Tell your friends, tell your family, tell your business associates,
tell your distant acquaintances, shout it from the rooftops. Between us we can
make this happen. We've got some great rewards for you too on Kickstarter, so
everybody wins.
Make your pledge today and help us to take LiveCode Open Source!
