Adobe Unveils Open Source Library

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the catching-up-to-the-little-old-gimp dept.

anamexis writes "Adobe premiered (no pun intended) opensource.adobe.com recently. The first two libraries available, titled Adam and Eve, respectively, take on complex GUI issues in applications. They are written in C++ and have been released under the MIT License, an OSI-Approved Open Source License."

    Adobe Reader is known around the geek-world as a bloated piece of crap.

    I mean, seriously, don't load for 5 seconds, just show me the god damn page! That's why I mostly avoid PDF files. If only they could get a clue...

    It makes it incompatible with GPL just like the original BSD license

    I'm sorry, but I do not agree with you on many points... seriously, the Hotmail signup process requires a LOT more unchecking of boxes than the 3 unchecks you need when downloading Acrobat... it's a very common practice

    You know,

    Crime is also a very common practice. Just because it is common doesn't mean that it is right. Someone needs to start making examples of this garbage and I think that Adobe is a good place to start.
