Hi,

If you’ve been following the release discussions, Justin pointed out that
because FalconJX currently bundles the MXMLC compiler and friends from the
main Flex SDK, the NOTICE and LICENSE files need to contain the
appropriate information about MXMLC and its friends.

The Falcon compiler has always created an “SDK” containing both the Falcon
compiler and the MXMLC compiler.  I think that may be so folks could fall
back to MXMLC if Falcon wasn’t working, but I also think that it was
because Falcon didn’t have some of the “friends” like swfdump (Falcon has
one, but I don’t think it works as well), optimizer, copylocale,
swcdepends, etc.

Falcon and FalconJX still have plenty of bugs, but I have not used MXMLC
or its friends on FlexJS code in quite some time, except for swfdump, and
I just use the one from a regular Flex SDK.

So, I’m thinking of not bundling MXMLC with FalconJX.  FalconJX has it own
FDB already.   It won’t completely eliminate our dependencies on the
regular Flex SDK, but will go a long way towards simplifying the
dependencies.

Thoughts?
