But I don't think open source is likely in the foreseeable future. RunRev Ltd. and their backers have a lot invested in Rev, and any path to the future would need to provide a healthy return on that investment.
Why would you say Adobe are open sourcing Flex? because they don't see the product going anywhere and they are cutting their losses? Because they are big enough and can loose on this one? Or because they figure they can only really make money off a development tool and platform (in the future) if it has serious open source credentials and they are reorganising their business bit by bit around ways of seeling tools and services around such a strategy? But aside from being free/gratis, are there other specific benefits
you'd look forward to if it became open source?
It is nothing to do with the cost - at least for me. I want to be able to recommend the platform to customers and I want to be able to engage bright young developers in learning the language and RunRev tools / IDE. Both are much much harder in my environment with a pure closed source solution - and it is getting harder. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
