For my own clarity, is your concern that the Macromedia standalone
compiler is not open source, not free ("less than $1000"), or both?
Also, "or unless macromedia releases their compiler for free (unlikely)"
I won't say this is or is not likely, but I would guess that much of
what we have released lately (a public alpha, a cmd line compiler, an
eclipse based tool, the Flex framework with that tool, etc) would have
been considered "unlikely" by many even a few weeks ago, and yet here
they are. Your guess is pretty reasonable here, but we like surprising
ourselves too :)
"i can't tell my contributors to buy a compiler to compile code they
gracefully contribute, and DENG contributors are hard enough to find."
So how many copies of the compiler would you need? I'd hate to hink the
fate of Deng hung on just a couple of copies of a compiler.
Regards,
David
Macromedia
