+We at Apache take the legality of code seriously, and nothing would be worse
than somebody contributing code that
they don't own and a 3rd party having a legal claim to our framework. That
being said, you can submit code by providing
<code>.patch</code> files (diff files) to the project. Check out the <a

to do that.</p>
<div class="headline"><h4>How is this different than Adobe Flex?</h4></div>
<p>In November, 2011, Adobe announced they were no longer supporting Adobe
Flex. Instead of just killing the framework they
donated it to Apache. Apache Flex 4.8.0 is essentially the exact same version
of Flex as Adobe's last official

hard on fixing bugs, providing additional
components and finishing unfinished components. As we progress through
additional versions, we will be less and
less like Adobe's Flex framework, but we will strive to be compatible with
it.</p>
<p>Adobe has offered some of their customers extended support contracts, and
may produce additional versions, but
that is unlikely. Future support of the Flex Framework is through this
project.</p>
