:-) Open source build chain is also a mandatory point for me.
Adobe open sourced its ActionScript3 compiler, more detail on http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Flex+SDK On Igenko ( http://code.google.com/p/igenko/ ), a Flex Content Management & eCommerce open source project (I am the project leader), we build the project with a totally open source build chain.
