Because of my vacation, I wasn't able to respond earlier to Kevin's sad news.
Being an Apple fan, this change in Apple's license agreement is the first major
disappointment in the company.
It has obviously nothing to do with performance like they say. If that was the
case, they should exclude JavaScript because it's a high level, interpreted
language. And they should ban all Obj-C/C++ code written by less experienced
programmers...
Neither has it anything to do with being prepared for the future. I know RunRev
as a very nimble company who adapts very fast to new trends, new OSes and new
hardware. I don't know how RunRev does it, but apparently the architecture of
their product(s) is so good they can adjust very quickly and they stay in the
saddle when the industry makes crazy turns.
So I cannot think of any sane reason why Apple changed their license agreement.
It has probably to do with the Flash war against Adobe. But actually this would
be an easy battle for Adobe to win. When ActionScript 3.0 came out, they
reconstructed the language to be compatible with JavaScript, which they use as
scripting language in other Creative Suite products. So all Adobe has to do is
rename ActionScript to JavaScript...
So RunRev just seems to suffer as collateral damage in this stupid war between
these big players.
