One thing that nobody seems to have pointed out is the current price is not $999.
As Peter commented (and a number of people seem to have read in a snippy tone
unfortunately) the price rises have been and continue to be well telegraphed with
the opportunity to lock in the current price. Regardless of that though I do tend
to agree that those with turnover of under $20000 or so (and not really likely to
expand that) looking at > 5% of that going as an expense on development
platform would struggle to justify it. In those cases they would either need to
look at other platforms or determine if they can obtain equivalent revenue by
changing their business model to use the GPL version. How LiveCode capture the
$200 per year or so those users might have on offer without sacrificing revenue
from those with higher turnover is something I'm sure is under consideration. Note
that I'm not really including those that have a reasonable prospect of revenue
growth because they can probably tap in
to public and private sources of startup support.
That presupposes that the time one is offered to "lock" is convenient for
the developer and that she has the money to do that at that point.
And "public and private sources of startup support" is a very
USA-Western European-centric view of things.
For the sake of argument, if one were to mention that phrase to someone
living in the Dominican Republic,
Brazil or Bulgaria (Now why would I pick those 3 countries, I wonder?)
they might look at you fairly blankly.
"Private joke" for Andre: Hey, let's phone up Dilma Rousseff and ask her
for a quick $2,000 to fund our startup.
Richmond.

With the exception of the PDF reader (as you pointed out) for development
purposes there is no real difference between Livecode versions
(and I am aware that you are pushing for further differentiation, and I
understand your rationale), so paying $999 for a year for something whose
single difference fron the FREE version is the ability to protect ones' code
really does not seem justifiable.
