@Joao. Flex component is based on Apache License, the Modest Map engine is the base for the component but the idea in the component and most of them will be my own, Since I'm comitter of SDK it's a feature pending approval by community. I still pending approval by the guys at modest to approve donation of classes at core engine. The only concern that I really care about is the license of Maps vendors, Openstreet just need to show the copyrights notice, others like Google, Nokia Here, Bing, needs a api_key which will be implemented in the component.
@Frederick @Marcus, Openscales is a great open-source map project, but doesn't fit on Flex SDK due to other license aproach http://openscales.org/license/index.html and some ideas in their current project can be implemented in our current one. Foundation is make a very UI consistence component for Maps rather than depending on vendors sdks. But to make it clear, It's a very first draft that needs more implementation and rights of use for tile base images, From what I've read in their Agreements license we can start using it, we're just consuming tile images 256px png files from their API services. But most requires the copyright notices from their images, the only one that needs license mention is openstreet. Major licenses approaches from API request token, keys.
