Most of my enterprise apps (used in mission-critical or daily use by lots of people) don't include more than 200 files -- but that doesn't make them any less enterprise... > If there would be a gathering of another team which could > prove that building large-scale Flex apps is affordable, too, > then, I also would be happy to see their code in the Apache > Flex "samples" folder. > > All of those that you've listed are already open-source, hosted elsewhere. I don't think that is the point of a samples / contrib folder. Providing links to the sites that host them would be a good idea (off the FAQ or Wiki), but I don't see the code being here. Remember, in order to commit code to the SVN, whoever contributes them would need to clear them under the ASF license. I don't think any of those have something compatible with the Apache license (maybe Caringorm may, but we need to wait and see on that). What would be cool to see in the contib/samples folder would be contributed samples of larger applications. Something like Tour de Flex. I'm checking with my clients/employers to see if they would be willing to release the source of any of the apps I've worked with them, but so far the answer has been no. -Nick > > -- Sebastian > > > > On Jan 15, 2012, at 11:29 AM, Peter Elst wrote: > > >> Would there be any legal issues when using > >> third party Opensource libraries in these Apache > >> Flex code examples? > >> > >> Here are some Opensource-Microarchitectures > > > > > > > > Can't speak to any legal issues but personally I'd prefer generic plain > > vanilla Flex code examples rather than examples of various > > microarchitectures, trying to keep those in sync as they change and > ending > > up with more support questions about the third party implementations than > > the actual Flex SDK. > > > > - Peter > >
