When you explained to Adobe that it would be a bad idea simply stop development on the Flex SDK and instead donate it to this Apache Project, Adobe took your advice. Then, a few thousand of us [and counting] joined this project and began donating our time and expertise. I am saying that asking you for your advice on business strategy isn't a bad idea. You do appear to be authoritative on this subject to Adobe and also influential to the several thousand people on this list, anyway. Maybe they should pay you because they have found merit in your advice before.
