Are the release dates for Kickstarter backers changing at all?
If they do, they'll be getting better, not worse.

Nope! The plan is still for the platform to be open source, likely under a GPLish license.
What will a "license" for LT then include?
The Kickstarter says that it might get you access to a packaged build, and that the price might be pay-what-you-want -- sounds a lot like the NeoOffice business model ( https://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/mirrors.php?file=NeoOff... ).
But making money from open source projects is hard enough, and varied enough, that it makes sense to spend a lot of time thinking about and experimenting with this one before committing to anything. It looks like that's what they're doing. So I don't think there will be a firm answer to this until they're much closer to launch -- or that it would be a good idea to offer one.

Hah, sorry. Forgot to read my own writing!

#27Cool. Now this definitely happens, likely sooner with more out of the box support, and I still get a T-shirt (assuming everyone on Kickstarter doesn't drop their pledges now). So, it's basically a win-win-win situation.
I just made a pledge anyway. Whatever we can do to help make this a reality seems like a worthwhile use of money to me. It looks like a great piece of software.

#28I upped my pledge after reading this. Even more excited to be able to see the early betas and play with the future.

We're sticking with our goal on Kickstarter - if we hit 300k we'll definitely do it. There's a decent chance we will either way though.
