It seems to me Macromedia cant state their position because if they made a legally binding statement and someone finds a way to stay within their statement, and they didnt like it, they would be screwed (thats no completely true but the gist is).  By not stating anything they are leaving their options open.  If they decide at any point (whether they are right or wrong) that they want to go legal on a project they can.  Precedence has been set by not attacking prior OS projects so we can take heart in that, but it is not a safe haven.

So in short:  Macromedia wont state anything until absolutely needed.

yeah, Martin Schnabel has been working hard on the ANTLR grammar for as2
(and as3 as well, theres no stopping him :)

so, that would make one reasonable starting point to approaching the
task, as antrl can be used to generate java and c++ code.

p.s. we should be moving asdt to use osflash / sourcesecure soon so
maybe its worth waiting a few days before checking the code out of cvs.

thanks,

Martin
