OS is what all the cool kids are on now-a-days ;-)

But on topic; I always thought AMF & RTMP where both as closed source ?

Point being, that now the whole remoting thing is gone into FDS, Adobe is
pretty cool about AMFPHP and the likes, right ?

Sure in essence it´s still reverse engineering, but as they are cool with it
? Or am I missing another point here ?

this is a copy of an email I posted recently:

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,
