Thanks for that clarification Nicolas. I think that Peter was less concerned with the legality of Red5 and more so with the fact that it competes with at least one of their money making projects. I think it's still a valid question. If an open source project wanted to be hosted on RIA forge and it competed directly with Adobe, would they allow it? Anyway, Red5 in my opinion is more of a bonus for the Flash platform as a whole, thus giving more value to Adobe than it detracts by being competitive with products like FMS and Flex Services. Anyway, thanks again for clarifying that Red5 has been built with all legal means and doesn't infringe on any IP. _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
