Hi, I can say that the source code for the framework will be published. (Not necessarily under an open source license, but published so that folks can see it and understand it and extend it.)
As for the compiler, we don't have anything to announce at this time and I am not sure if we want to do this, but I'd be interested in practical suggestions from this list. Why should we do this? How would you use it? How important is it--not just to be open source for the sake of it, but actually for getting your work--whatever that is--accomplished? There are many licenses and approaches folks take, which ones do you think would make sense here? -David > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nicolas Cannasse > Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 3:27 AM > To: Open Source Flash Mailing List > Subject: Re: [osflash] Free compiler (was FW: [Fwd: Re: MTASC Future]) > > David Mendels wrote: > > Hi, > > > > A few months ago, Claus wrote on this list: "unless macromedia > > releases their compiler for free (unlikely)" > > Hi David, > > I would prefer "free as in freedom" than "free as is beer", > but that's already something good ;) If you don't seel it > anymore, it there any point in keeping the compiler sources > closed ?
