Hi Justin,

I've asked Adobe Legal similar questions in the past.  Adobe Legal will
say it is fine because it is related to Flex and was already out there
with a open source license, and even better, an Apache license.  It would
be bit trickier if it wasn't already ALv2, and much harder/impossible if
it didn't already have an OS license.  I suppose I could go bug some
higher up to nod in agreement, but they have every time so far.  Maybe if
someone files a suit against Apache I'll go do that.

Adobe is happy to share code.  I'm happy to share code.  I'm sorry you are
not happy and feel you must attack me for pointing out an error in your
assessment of the situation.  I just want our users to be able to safely
use our code and install Flex with fewer problems.

-Alex
