Thanks Stryder, ClipArtGuy, Richmond !
I'm actually a software preservationist at heart. Call it a software hoarding issue. However, I have retained a lot of software of the past 30+ years that no longer really exists anywhere.
Hah, me too! I still have floppies from the 1980s (and a USB floppy drive that still works) and a working Mac512KE (upgraded to 4MB Plus!) that runs Hypercard like a champ! I do appreciate this effort, thanks! I may have a few other pre-built installers to send when I get a chance to look.

It is in the description of the item:
LiveCode Community Edition
Linux (Arm and Pi editions)
If the titles are too long, they get cut off.

This saved me, thanks. I've had my head in the sand using an old version and didn't even realise they discontinued support/downloads for the community edition.
Discovering this made me sad, and I found this bit of previous correspondence I had with the company in 2015, which you may find interesting too:
Me: Hi everybody. I'm a casual livecoder, utilizing the environment for specific university research projects. I've loved the project's seemingly community-driven vision since I first discovered the platform. However, the tone of recent announcements has me a little concerned. Don't get me wrong--I understand that something as big as Livecode has become requires sufficient financial nourishment. But what reassurance can you offer me that Livecode isn't transforming from adventure into venture?
support@runrev.com: Thank you for your request. I'm not sure what you mean. I'll try and answer you anyway, if I miss the point please ask again. LiveCode is an Open Source tool now, (it wasn't always) and we have the vision that everyone can code. These things will not change. We are working ever more closely with the community, and the release of 8 and widgets is going to make it even easier for the community to contribute to development. We are committed to making LiveCode the tool of choice for anyone who wants to code.

Just looking at this now. The licensing info is definitely wrong. These are not by any means public domain or Creative Commons licensed. The licenses for the packages is GPL2. They're still FOSS, no doubt about it, and I'm glad to see them publicly archived, but don't mistake that for a public domain or wtf license.

Emphasis is mine.
Is that a fact?

I'm working with a software archiver in Europe who runs a very large archive site, and he has managed to download some of the installers through caches. Can't say how, but he's doing it. They will hopefully mostly/all become available on various sites and platforms in the coming weeks. Today we have the archive.org offering as a hold-over. Eventually we'll host them on various places for safekeeping.
Hi Stryder. I just wondered if you have the Livecode Community Installer for Linux x32 and x64 8.0.2 DP2 versions?

Wrong numbering.
What is meant is 8.2.0 DP2

In fact if anyone has the 8.2.0 DP2 Linux installers I would be most grateful if they could contact me off-list.
