Anatole I see your point about Adobe and open source. I would prefer it closed with the ability to modified more than making it fully open source. There are good and bad reasons for both ways.
In the components I have created quite often I learn and take bits of pieces from the source of the Flex framework and have had great success (even with private variable quirks). I think what we have now is a big step to what we had before and will get more and more open as time goes on.
