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.
