Hi Mark,
This really looks like a commercial company, who, despite all the
broohahah about releasing an Open Source, Free version of their software
cannot completely let go.
Interestingly enough, I had to reset my RunRev password, that was duly
sent to my e-mail address,
and with that I logged in and was able to download the Linuc, Mac and
Window versions of the new
Livecode. With that, new password I was unable to get the new version
going (as reported eariler) and was also unable to log in to RevOnline
with my commercial version.
I don't know what RunRev are playing at, but they do seem to be trying
to exert some sort of control over there new "baby".
I am wondering how I am going to go about installing it on 8 machines
(which have no internet connexion) in my school.
Paradoxically enough, RunRev version 2.2.1 for Linux that was given away
by Oracle a few years back currently looks a lot better:
1. No need for internet connexion.
2. Code protected standalones.
Maybe I'm naive, but I understand the idea of Open Source to be to allow
people unfettered use of
software (well, fettered only insofar as they have to make their code
available rather than hiding it)
that can be used on a computer in almost any situation.
Software that requires both registration and a subsequent internet
connexion does not seem to fit into that paradigm very well.

Hi Richmond,
I was also surprised to get this screen asking me for an e-mail address and a
password. I would like to get an explanation from RunRev. Maybe we should write
to support?

So I set up LIvecode Community on Linux, tap in my email address and
the exact password I used to download the thing in the first place and get this:
"The password you have entered does not match that email address"
Why, if the thing is open source does it need a password in the first place?
What happens if I wish to install the thing on a coomputer that has no internet
access?
I do not like to have to ask either of those questions because I have never
seen Open Source software before that requires log ins (and, presumably,
signals sent somewhere on the internet).
