Dave noted that Adobe has been active in Open Source for a good long while but has recently begun to move away from the Adobe Open Source License (a vanity license – like the old Fusebox license) to more standard licenses such as BSD and MPL. We’ve seen the ActionScript Virtual Machine released to the Mozilla Organization (as Tamarin) and this week the Flex 3 SDK was just released as Open Source with the ActionScript and MXML compilers and ActionScript debugger all following later this year.

You can keep tabs on Adobe’s voice for Open Source on the Open at Adobe blog.

You can read about (some of) Adobe’s Open Source projects on opensource.adobe.com, which includes the Adobe Source Libraries and the Generic Image Library. The latter was accepted into the Boost project for C++ – an open source library project that I was involved with back in 1998, when I was still involved with the ANSI C++ Standards Committee!

Dave also mentioned RIAForge which is probably the most well-known Open Source effort around Adobe technologies, as far as the ColdFusion community is concerned.
