[osflash] Open Dialect an alternative Open Source Flash IDE based on Flex

[Thijs Triemstra | Collab]

Hi Billy,

first of all, great idea, thanks for sharing. You say you're going to  
bundle the Flex compiler and your software into a GPL-ed product. As  
far as I know the GPL and MPL are incompatible, but I'm not sure what  
the implications are, so I hope you, or anyone on this list, can  
explain to me what this means in practice. Unfortunately the adobe  
open source site doesn't say much about this, except from 'contact a  
lawyer', but I think it's an important thing to understand..

Cheers,

Thijs
