Re: [PROPOSAL] Flex for Apache Incubator

Carol,

The legal stuff page for the Flex SDK
(http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Legal+Stuff) mention 3
different downloads:

* Free Adobe Flex SDK
* Open Source Flex SDK
* Adobe Add-ons for Open Source Flex SDK

Is the SDK version which will be contributed to Apache the "Free Adobe
Flex SDK" or the "Open Source Flex SDK"?

Since the add-ons contain "Adobe Flash Player, Adobe AIR, the advanced
font encoding libraries, and the code that allows licensing of things
like the Data Visualization components", I would assume that Apache Flex
will mainly be the Open Source Flex SDK?
