Given that Alex was Adobe employee at the time, can Alex donate it >(I assume not)? Do we know if the author had permission from Adobe to >release it under an Apache license? The author assumed he had permission because it was on my blog and the intent of the blog was to share code with the community. Unfortunately, I was quite naïve about licensing back then so I'm sure there isn't a paper trail that truly makes it ok. >Do we need Adobe to donate the pseudo threading code in order to make >this code work? At minimum, I should try to get it and everything on my blog explicitly licensed with Category A. Not sure how easy that will be, it might turn out to be faster to put it in a donation to Apache Flex. I'll look into it. > >BTW Was that file the reason for the code ownership thread the other week? No, that was a different issue. Someone was working on a patch potentially while doing client work. -Alex
