Adobe Open Sources Flex SDK Under MPL

Posted by kdawson on from the for-real dept.

andy_from_nc writes "Adobe announced that they are open sourcing their Flex SDK under the Mozilla Public License incrementally by December. This move comes on the heels of Microsoft's announcement of their Silverlight and Adobe's CEO's criticism of it. Adobe's action will likely please other open source developers who use Flex, like me, and offers hope that we'll see a full open source version of Flash one day. You can read Adobe's FAQ on the move as well."

    What the fuck is Flex and why should we care?

  2. Adobe will quit flash development by tulcod · · Score: -1, Troll

    I have the strong feeling that adobe wants to stop developing flash. A few days ago, they said they might add ads to the player. Now, they're open sourcing major parts of flash technology. I think these steps lean towards quitting development of flash.
