[osflash] RTMP is legal ?

[Ralph Hauwert]

OS is what all the cool kids are on now-a-days ;-)

But on topic; I always thought AMF & RTMP where both as closed source ?

Point being, that now the whole remoting thing is gone into FDS, Adobe is
pretty cool about AMFPHP and the likes, right ?

Sure in essence it´s still reverse engineering, but as they are cool with it
? Or am I missing another point here ?
