hi,

OpenLaszlo is used for compiling the Client. You don't need it to run the
Application. So it is not needed to re-destribute OpenLaszlo.
It is linked into the Application as Library, when you have compiled the
code you can remove OpenLaszlo's Framework.

Red5 does no transcoding. That is why its not relevant for Adobe Patents.
Red5 actually acts like a Proxy. It just takes what you send there and
broadcasts it to others. Besides that the RTMP Specification is meanwhile an
Open Specification published by Adobe:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/rtmp/
So there should be no Issue in red5 itself. But anyway, we use Red5 just like a Library, we don't modify Red5-Code. We use the API that it provides
to connect to the clients and the other way round.


Ok, thanks I am informed and educated, sorry for digging.

Also, are there any problems between Red5 and Adobe in terms of patents
on
the Flash Media Server protocols. IIRC Adobe have some patents in this
area
but I have no idea if they are relevant and enforceable or would want to
enforce them against an open source project?

We (ASF) has no need to know. If the contributors has been contacted
by Adobe, they should mention it, otherwise it is nothing we go around
digging in. Our position is that there are no problems, until
contacted of otherwise.


Ok, position clarified, thanks.
