Flex SDK open sourced under MPL
Adobe has announced that it will be open sourcing Flex by making the source code for the Flex SDK available under the Mozilla Public License (MPL). This is very very exciting as it essentially means that everything you need to develop Flex is now Open Source … the source to the ActionScript libraries in the SDK, the Java source code for the ActionScript, MXML compilers (AS3C, MXMLC) and the ActionScript debugger (FDB). Wow!!
I am very exited about this announcement and will post more thoughts on this later, but for now check out these videos that show David Wadhwani (Vice president, Flex Product Line) and Ely Greenfield (Flex Architect) talking to Robert Scoble about this new development.
