Adobe is sitting on tons of software and could open source a whole lot more, such as their embedded JS (ES3?) engine and maybe older FrameMaker sources and other print-era renderers they don't have a direct commercial interest in anymore.
- ttoinou 9y agoWell I wouldn't want them to open source After Effects for example, reading their source code would hurt me so much
- heroprotagonist 9y agoI agree with the idea itself, but just want to point out that they still have commercial interest in print rendering. InDesign is the evolution of FrameMaker.
- egypturnash 9y ago> their embedded JS (ES3?) engine Your wish has already been granted. "Source code for the Actionscript virtual machine": https://github.com/adobe-flash/avmplus https://github.com/adobe-flash/avmplus 4 years old, dunno how closely it tracks the current Actionscript interpreter in the Flash plugin. It's also worth noting that they donated this VM to Mozilla eleven years ago, according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamarin_(software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamarin_(software)
