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."

    If there was no pun intended, and the resulting sentence indeed contained a pun, then either change the wording, or keep it as is, but please do not insult me with (no pun intended).

    Slashdot is totally fucked right now on FireFox in Windows.

    For a site that loves to bash others for shoddy coding or lack of adherence to standards this is pretty fuckin' lame!

    And the Poison Apple is only $649

    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...

    The FSF won't happy until they release it as "Adam and Steve".

    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.
