I think we are on the same page here- integration does not mean distribution; 
building hooks is all that is needed.

Because it is not an open source product and even if it was we would 
really be in trouble if the license granted by Alex was not consistent 
with the GPL.

What Alex is proposing and it is a proposal I wholeheartedly agree with 
is providing the hooks to integrate it since we want to do that 
generically and enable such a thing as a matter of course by giving 
ourselves a description of the functionality of the add in and where its 
sink and source need to go.

We benefit from the outside work, work we have no time to do ourselves, 
and everyone benefits that wishes to use his fantastic work.

I think probably this discussion is better held in Flex Edge since it is 
about nonexistent (so pre-alpha ;-)  software.
