[pp.int.general] Is the open-sourced LiveCode open source enough?

    And the question is: What do you think of the Open sourced version of
    LiveCode? 

In general, I do not advocate open source.  I am a free software
activist.  If they use the term "open source", it means a fundamental
disagreement between them and me.

Most open source programs are free software, but exceptions do exist.
Therefore, I suppose this project will probably make free software,
but I don't know for certain.

According to Wikipedia, LiveCode is a programming platform.  That's
all I know about it.  We have many programming platforms in the free
software movement.  This might be a nice one, but I doubt it is
revolutionary, because our existing platforms are pretty good too.
