Open Source Initiatives by Adobe

Posted on | June 14, 2007 |

Adobe is betting high on its OpenSource initiatives as lots of goodies are coming out of the Box.  Being a passionate Flex developer  and  strong admirer of OpenSource  I am delighted to know about these happenings and want to share with you guys… The recent presentation given by Dave McAllister showed a direct indication that Adobe has been active in Open Source for a good long while but has recently begun to move away from the Adobe Open Source License (a vanity license - like the old Fusebox license) to more standard licenses such as BSD and MPL. Last year ActionScript Virtual Machine was released to the Mozilla Organization (as Tamarin) and this week the Flex 3 SDK released as Open Source with the ActionScript and MXML compilers and ActionScript debugger all following later this year.

You can keep tabs on Adobe’s voice for Open Source on the Open at Adobe blog.

Guys can keep themselves updated on Adobe’s Open Source projects from opensource.adobe.com, which includes the Adobe Source Libraries and the Generic Image Library. The latter was accepted into the Boost project for C++ - an open source library project that I was involved with back in 1998, when I was still involved with the ANSI C++ Standards Committee!
