I received a few emails stating that making it open source is not the same as donating it to Apache Flex which is what I wanted to do. I'm in the process of seeing what that takes and finding out even if Apache Flex community wants it to be part of the Apache Flex project at all. That would mean the community would be responsible updates, patches and releases for it. That's something to discuss. In the mean time I've released it under Apache 2.0 license (if this works for everyone bueler bueler?). Just to be clear you can branch it, make your own projects and derivations from it or work on the main branch.
BTW, What my main focus has been is to be able to design something that then generates a web site or an application with a lot of hooks and tools to do our job (web, mobile and desktop). Why not use Photoshop or Ai to accomplish that? I could! That will work for some projects but I'm trying to support the full Flex framework. And there's projects I'd like to do that would require it's own environment. Also, code editing or text editing might better be handled in things like FDT, FB, or IntelliJ. Blah blah blah blah...
