I want to know if Mr
I want to know if Mr Wadhwani will release the open source version of Flex under the same Mozilla tri-license (MPL/GPL/LGPL) as other Mozilla code (like Tamarin).As I konw, without this, free software projects like Debian GNU/Linux will be unable to distribute the open source version of Flex due to incompatibilites with MPL license. Specifically, MPL is incompatible with the DFSG.
MPL Only
From what I've read, Flex will be dual licensed, but the open source license will be MPL. There will also be a commercial license available to companies that don't want to deal with the MPL version. I'm not sure what the overlap in the codebase will be.
