Hi Carlos, When that topic comes up, I talk about corporate-driven open source vs Apache open source. Corporate-driven open source has the advantage of serious money and marketing, but the disadvantage of an individual customer having less impact. In Apache open source, especially Flex where there isn't a lot of people from any one corporation, the individual customer can have a major impact. If you have a bug you need fixed in the framework and have earned commit rights in an Apache project, you just go and put in your fix. It may not be as easy to do that in corporate-driven projects. Just think back to the Adobe days. That was also corporate-driven open source. Could you get a bug fixed added to the code at the last minute before a release? Adobe had product managers prioritizing everything in order to make a deadline.
Of course, I could be wrong... -Alex On 9/19/17, 1:10 PM, "carlos.rov...@gmail.com on behalf of Carlos Rovira" <carlos.rov...@gmail.com on behalf of carlos.rov...@codeoscopic.com> wrote: >That's great point.
