I think an additional point would be that there is a third offerring out there called Wowsa media. They are proprietary but are based on the same protocols, internal handling of objects, etc...
They have even been to public trade shows. I hope this shows that Red5 is not the only server with knowledge to pass in data to the Flash Player. Again, all information related to Red5 and the way it was built is out in the open. Ask your lawyers to read whats out there, take into account that other groups work with open source tools, and then make your decision based on that. This is as far as we can go because we have not received any letters from Adobe stating their stance. This is actually quite similar to other open source efforts based on platforms. Hope this helps.

Hi everyone, Also do not forget that they are a corporation, and corporations are always depending on their shareholders, whom always seek for profit, like your company does also. You'd better go to them yourself and ask, probably their PR will ask you why you do not use fms/fcs, they will try to convince you to use theirs based on their own views and reasons(hell, we all know that the price is very-extremely-mega-ultra-giga-tera-exa-peta unfair), in any way(maybe you will get a discount :P), if you plan on releasing something that you think it will be big, you better seek their advice. --- John Grden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey Eric, the only issue would be around the use of > RTMP, which is what we > allude to in the link Dominick passed along.
