I'd thought of that too. It needs to be built into the core so that
encapped
applications can run for (say) 30 days or 50 invocations or 100
files-converted or whatever,

That's true. But the script library and this list would let us all still
share snippets and insights. And the "professional" developers could post
reduced-function versions of the "commercial" products as source code in the
script libraries. That'd whet some people's appetites for the "real thing"
while allowing access to their source code so we could see how good they are
at Reboling.
