and can we stop complaining and spamming now about Adobe and scene7 already.1)
Your answer had nothing to do with the question and welcome to the world. 2_If
your that scared from losing some bids and the job then you don't belong to
this business, just saying. 3) You have to adapt and move on, and
FutureWave/FutureSplash is technically Adobe Flash. 4)Papervision plug-in? What
are you talking about?----- Original Message -----

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Flexstore license?
To answer your question about any purchaser of Adobe products having to
"license" an example they put out for use.
Microsoft, Adobe, nearly every company puts (C) Copyright statements in it's
examples.
This is to prevent competitors from outright distributing code they have no
right to.
As examples to the FLEX Builder Product Owner, these examples have a very
real place in teaching you how things are done.
The Hybrid and Store 2.0 examples are frankly not as complicated as you might
think - as long as you base all your data exchange on XML.
As long as you create your own system, I wouldn't worry about it. But the
future of AIR and Flash Player I would worry about.
My hope is Papervision comes out with their own Plug-in; as at this point and
time, it's the perfect timing to let Flash Player 9 and earlier deal with all
the earlier sites.
And spread the word, if they choose to develop one, a Papervision3D plug-in,
and began where FutureWave did, with a fresh new high performance platform for
Visual Computing.
The IT integration with things like Cold Fusion can then happen in more of a
W3C and SOAP XML complaint way (Or RESTful XML way).
I myself am playing things safer, including in the use of any ColdFusion, by
taking the following route:
a.. Using FTD Enterprise 3.0 as my IDE so it's not an Adobe Product
b.. Using Open .SWF formats and tools, and Flash CS3 only when necessary
for my clients
c.. Working on a new Cycling '72 like visual interface for programming and
generating .SWF's (or hopefully .P3D's if Papervision3D hopefully goes out on
their own since it appears Adobe cannot be trusted and is getting prideful and
greedy in my opinion (what they're trying to do now with Acrobat is a joke; and
I thought that before the discoveries of last week)
d.. Encouraging Papervision3D to go out on their own and take this great
opportunity in time and be the next "FutureSplash" by developing their own
plug-in
e.. Integrating CUDO graphic support into OpenLaszlo.org version 4.0
f.. Anything that allows use of Adobe products only when necessary, and
changing focus on W3C Standards and more reasonable people who are less greedy
to do not charge large sums of money to a development community and then turn
on them. Even Microsoft is not doing with Adobe is doing. I've always saw
them as a "deal with when necessary" company and was pulling for them 100%
until last week. I have no love for them at all anymore. I see a dark future
for them as they are growing lustful obviously with the possibilities of AIR.
Things will change though.
The safest route at this time while Adobe is creating FLEX applications for
these companies, is to take a step back, and big breath, and look at the
long-term future of the Web.
Look at the clients they have served on Scene7.com and the fact that a FLEX
interface is, was, and will continue to be used to complete projects like the
NIKE project (which many of us on this list have the capability of doing)
Here's the NIKE project,

Here's the client list that some of FLEX coders who spent money on projects
could have possibly bid on (whether it's ELanc.com or any of the other
freelance, or bidding hubs out there),

Hey Guys,
Wondering what the license is on the Flexstore code? Can it be used as a
basis for commercial products?
And don't look at me like that, it's not my idea.
