Question

SDK license

After building the open source SDK one ends up with a file named "SDK license.pdf". This file getra extracted from the AIR Integration Kit. Now my question is: Your source code is released under MPL -- but that license says that one is not allowed to modify "Build Tools" like the ASC and it is also not allowed to distribute those tools.

Is this a mistake and does that license file apply only for the AIR Integration Kit or is it true that changing and distributing the compiler breaks the open source SDK license agreement?

Best,

Joa

Joa - Sorry for the late reply, it was the Memorial Day Holiday here in the States.  If you're building the open source Flex SDK, you shouldn't be getting this file I believe.  The file you reference is for the AIR SDK, and the open source license for the open source Flex SDK is spelled out here: http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Legal+Stuff.

I'm checking with the team to see if this might be a build.xml bug.
