this is a copy of an email I posted recently: http://osflash.org/red5/fud
we've heard that several times - in that same order "developers love that we're so fired up about RTMP, lawyers, not so much" Truth is, the wowza guys, one of them, used to work for adobe. Before he started Wowza, he walked in and showed them what he was going to build and handed them a letter. They said nothing at all. Red5 is open source, we've documented our processes, and we feel great about all of it. Adobe probably won't come out and endorse Red5, but I do believe that RTMP is pretty low on the radar these days. I won't be surprised when they release the RTMP spec. Wowza is 1 of 2 companies that I've heard about doing a for-profit version of FMS. So, with that, I think we can feel a touch better about the whole "yeah half of adobe thinks its cool, but the lawyers aren't so keen" discussion. I personally think that discussion is old, and not been updated. Also, Adobe is incredibly OS minded. They quite a bit of OS stuff themselves. Especially since the merge. hth, John On 5/9/07, Damien Cayzac <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
