Adobe Open Sourcing Flex a Sign of Desperation?
Adobe sent out a press release titled 'Adobe to Open Source Flex'. Is that so? Dana Blankenhorn from ZDNet says this is A sign of desperation from Adobe...Is that so? After reading the press release a few times, the title 'to Open Source Flex' seems to be misleading a little bit. Adobe is NOT open sourcing Flex. Adobe is only open sourcing a part of Flex, only the part that will help Flex adoption without giving away revenue source(side note: nothing wrong with this, but just thought it would be helpful to have it clarified).
