I think the issue is that Marvin Froeder is not interested in
contribution the mojos to flex.
However: Generally speaking: The Flex mojos are licensed under APL 2.0
this means that any
contributor could theoretically fork the mojos and add it to the flex
sdk. Opensource and stuff.
@Mentor: What are the rules to branching other Open source projects to
Apache Projects?

Martin.
The license is GPL on the flexmojos site.
I imagine that is because Marvin has worked on it for many years and
never been funded - I know he is working on a licensed
version FME (for mobiles) - making a living as an open source developer
is very tough unless you are funded.
I have always found Marvin extremely helpful. Also the source code of
flexmojos is enormous (enough to make your eyes water) and it took me a
day and
some ghastly hacks to get it to coexist imperfectly with SDK 4.6 so
getting Marvin involved somehow would be very good.
