Hi Billy, thanks for your response. I saw your question appear on the flex-sdk list as well but haven't seen an answer from Adobe so far. Quite frustrating they ignore, or don't react asap with such important questions, and also don't state it on their site in the first place. Nobody wants to break the rules but it's hard to know what's right and wrong with so little information or guidance. It will also be interesting to see what Adobe and the Free Software Foundation think about this, I wouldn't make decisions solely based on Mozilla's opinion. I also think you can expect a more sceptical answer from Adobe and FSF, if any.. There's a lot of great GPL-ed software out there and it would be great to mix it with the Flex ecosystem but for now there's too much doubt around the licenses, ruling out that combination, which forces us to look into alternatives for Flex, that are compatible with the GPL.
