I have to commend you all for posting a lot of wonderful components and extensions to Flex... eg. Ely's calendar, Doug and Jason's tab navigator extensions, Ben and Trey's reflection effect, Alex's distortion effect, just to name a few. Unfortunately, in these day and age, I would have to ask..

That's an awesome topic and I'd love to hear more about it. My current understanding is that any published work comes under copyright protection, and that would necessitate permission from the author before incorporation into a commercial work, if there is no explicit licensing info provided. -S

I'd be interested in what a more legal understanding is, but for anything that I post that includes source code, it's my understanding that you can go and do whatever you want with it. Include it in other products, yadda yadda. Basically if I don't include licensing terms I'm giving you whateve

Valid points. I'm unclear on the differences between copyright and licensing when applied to software distributed at no cost over the Internet. It makes sense that the original publisher could claim copyright on the code. Many blogs have a standard disclaimer in regards to content. Man
