Does this mean there is a chance that companies that
distribute products with the Linux kernel but without source
might finally be taken to court? I have lost track of all the
companies who might be sued over this....

My guess is that this means Adobe is abandoning flash completely soon. On all
the Apple platforms, it is effectively dead. On Linux based platforms, they pass
it to Google. On Microsoft platforms, they gave it to Microsoft. It's par for
the course with a dying proprietary platform. But a lot of content and
applications have been created on this particular platform. Much more than any
other platforms that Adobe/Macromedia had destroyed over the years.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
