No more FUD! http://osflash.org/red5/fud
I'm sure you've probably read that and maybe your just not satisfied with the answer. The truth is people can sue over anything! I can sue, you can sue, we can all sue! That said, we've identified our purpose and methods which are covered in previous legal cases. That's about as good as we can do without some type of statement from Adobe. Additionally in the past 2 years, Adobe has become much more open about their technologies. Their company has made great strides into Open Source and I feel that Red5 is just part of the overall Open Source ecosystem. Not to mention the server does more than just RTMP. You can plug in any protocol your heart desires with the right team of devs. Anyway, this has been talked about over and over on the list. I think these new advancements are great for Flash and I don't see any problems from the announcement.
