Hi David,
This was really needed, since the source code is a must-have in order to use the frame work in a daily basis.
Nicolas suggest to gain access to the sources, so people can study the internals or the bytecode and extend the platform in the appropiate way.
Of course, congratulations to the Adobe Flex team for hear the comunity and make this movement so in the future we could see Flex and Flash as the best option to choose on the market.
:)
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.)
Hi David,

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?
