Startkit limitations for stacks already containing long scripts

IF
1. I create a stack A with some long scripts in it. (more than 10
lines)
2. An associate in a far away country downloads a copy of Revolution
Starterkit.
3. I send him or her a copy of stack A
THEN: Can she then create objects, cards, buttons, fields and add new
scripts with ten lines or less and edit scripts of objects that have
less than ten lines? i.e. the original working document is 'beyond" the
Startkit limitations, but the "Startkit" user never touches those long
scripts... only works in scripts of ten lines or less..will they be
able to save the stack? They ship back to me for modifications in the
stack script... they can make short scripts that call functions I build
in the stack script etc.
Of course I can test this myself, but I don't want to shoot myself in
the foot by not knowing something important that I might miss.
I want to be up front about staying within the "ethical" parameters of
the educational license, but i can't justify purchasing more
educational "seats" for these volunteers whose actual home usage of the
program will be, overall, minimal from the "big picture" point of
view. And we are *truly* non profit (wish it weren't so, but we give
away more than we get, or at least break even..)
Idea is to draft young volunteer collaborators who can't afford a
license, but who would be excellent in the areas of UI design, art etc.
while I back them up with any "heavy" scripting (longer than 10 lines)
that might need to be done.
This could be an excellent promotion, because these young people, one
day will have a salary and will jump to buy their own license as soon
as their pockets are deep enough,...by then its a tool they know and
love...meanwhile they are talking to all their friends and showing off
this 'cool program" and I can delegate basic educational presentation
stacks creation, design tweaking etc. in the process... two mangos with
one stone (as we vegetarians say...) one for Rev and one for Himalayan
Academy. We are talking about young people in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia,
Bangalore, India, San Francisco school of Fine Arts...usually in their
last year of university or just fresh out of college...who I want to
pull on board. They all have a computer and they are all really savvy.
