Thanks for the heads up Aral.

However I fail to see a clear connection with the MTASC future
discussion. The Red5 or amfphp projects have no issues with
deconstruction the AMF protocol I can't see how deconstructing a f8.5
.swf is any different.

MTASC Future

Hi everyone,

You have to be very careful that you do not obtain illegal specs, or
post code based on them here on the list or on the Wiki. In fact, you
have to double-careful in any open source project that you can document
that your code is legal or else you can put both the project and OSFlash
into legal trouble. At the end of the day, I will not hesitate to remove
illegally-obtained content from the site or the source repositories as
they violate our terms of service. I am hoping that it will never come
to this and that we will all play our part to make sure that we keep
OSFlash 100% legal as nothing less is acceptable. I'm sure that we all
want OSFlash to continue to be a great resource for the whole community
and I hope that each one of you will do your part in ensuring that this
is not jeopardized.

All the best,
Aral
