Well I think there never was a real formal process at Flexmojos ... at first you sent Velo patches and he applied them and after going to Githup all was handled by Pull requests from other users Repos.

It depends on what agreement he had with the contributors. At Adobe, when you contributed a patch to Flex, you first had to sign an agreement giving Adobe all rights to your code (interestingly, Apache is not so formal about patches coming in via JIRA anymore). That's how we were able to donate the Flex SDK without hunting down all the patch contributors. > > Chris > > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Greg Reddin [mailto:gred...@gmail.com] > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 24.
