Adobe Open Sources Flex SDK Under MPL 134

Posted by kdawson on Thursday April 26, 2007 @10:36AM 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."

The Flex SDK includes all of the components needed to create Flex applications that run in any browser — on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux and on now on the desktop using "Apollo". ... "The source code for the Flex SDK will be available under the Mozilla Public License (MPL). The MPL will allow full and free access to the source code, allowing developers to download, extend, and contribute to the source code for the Flex compiler and framework classes. The Flex SDK will also be available under a commercial Adobe license. Offering a choice of licenses serves the needs of enterprise Flex customers and partners."

Maybe it's a response to Silverlight from Microsoft? Will they make and sell Flex 3?"

This means that at least one type of Flash is going to be open source. Does this mean a similar future for Flash?"

twofishy writes: "Adobe has announced a road map for the transition of the Flex SDK to open source. Currently the Flex SDK which includes the Flex framework (with source), compiler, and debugger are available for free. The open sourcing of the Flex SDK will make the Java based compiler and debugger, as well as the Flex framework, open source under the Mozilla Public License (MPL) by the end of 2007. Outside developers will be able to submit patches and enhancements. Flex Data Services and the FlexBuilder IDE are not included in the products being open sourced however. This follows on from Adobe's donation of source code for the ActionScript Virtual Machine to the Mozilla Foundation to create the Tamarin project."

Developers can use the Flex SDK to freely develop and deploy Flex applications using either Adobe Flex Builder or an IDE of their choice.

Adobe is announcing tonight that the Flex SDK will be open sourced under the Mozilla public license, the same license that they open sourced the Action Script VM under (the Tamarin project).
