Is a general search tool a violation of the runtime license? (OpenInsight 32-Bit)

E.g, say I make a general search window with two listboxes from where the user can select which table and field to search, an edit line where the user can fill in a search value, and a Search button to run the search. The button's handler constructs a "SELECT WITH =" command on the fly and runs it with RList.
Can my clients run this tool with a runtime license?

The runtime license has always allowed selects it has however now been modified to also allow user defined reports using RLIST et al.

Sprezzatura,
Always allowed selects? But there was something that used to be forbidden. What about letting the user key in his own select statement from scratch, like one can do in System Editor's Exec Line (run RList "SELECT …")? Wasn't that a license breach once? But not now?

Licensing Changes with Runtimes
As we announced during the Roadshows earlier this year, we made some changes to the runtime licensing effective OI version 3.7.5 and above. These included:
* No More reporting of Runtime Licenses
* Allow fixing of GFEs
* Allow Rebuilding of Indexes
* Allow Creation of R/List type Reports
* Allow Copying of Tables
I feel that the functionality above is a necessary part of even a runtime application. The rest of the licensing stands as is.
