Sure, but not in 100% of the cases. Listening to Internet based radio station
is one example. Almost all of them are MP3 based and you can't choose your
codec.
Anyway, this was just an example. There might be other similar things with
other vital closed source components. Do every application that depends on Air
need to licence/redistribute Air (if you need to licence this to redistribute
it)? Potentially the same with Silverlight? I don't expect these two to be part
of the compliancy stack either....
Just some examples, Im sure there are more examples out there. We should just
be aware of the potential effects.
at this point, AIR applications will not be MeeGo compliant indeed.
AIR has.. interesting distribution license restrictions, and is
effectively a $$ per unit piece of software... which is exactly the kind
of 4th party dependency that can't be dealt with.
