I must disagree here. 

I think shrouded code--even completely bound programs--should be just as 
eligible as unshrouded code. Maybe they can have a limit on how much you 
can give them per person per month, but I still think it's fair. If 
someone wrote a Euphoria game that took off like SimCity, does the 
author deserve a free upgrade? IMVHO, yes, even if the program is bound.

(Now, you raise an interesting point, that shrouded code may not even be 
true original Euphoria code, but I would think that that is a seperate 
issue, and so should be addressed--and if necessary prevented--via 
another route.)
