I'm not sure I'm following this.

To be used, a stack needs to be either in a standalone, used by a 
standalone, run by an engine or used in a development environment.  In 
the past there was the free version that--like the standalone--was 
unlicensed.  It could "run" stacks but in doing so was limited in "set 
the script of ..." capability to 10 "lines".

So, the limit is not in the stack but in the environment and in the 
intended use of the stack.  In some sense (and perhaps in a real sense) 
the engine is just a naked standalone.  It is the player that is 
handicapped to "license or don't set the script".

Or am I completely missing your point?
