1. Re: Adobe gives us a creative license... does that include making sites open source?
SnakEyez02 Jun 14, 2009 3:06 PM (in response to the_missing_link)I don't understand what you are saying at all here. Either that or you are misunderstanding what Open-Source is. Open Source really doesn't have anything to do with websites. More with programs that run on computers and/or websites. For instance, a forum like this. If it was open-source you would be allowed to view all of the source, modify it as you wish and redistribute it as your own (with original references in tact). DW's EULA protects Adobe from someone trying to make a rip-off version of DW. It shouldn't affect you at all making websites.

Lawrence_Cramer Jun 14, 2009 3:06 PM (in response to the_missing_link)Not to worry. Anything you develop in Dremaweaver can be sold to another party, including Flash, Spry, HTML, CSS, PHP or ColdFusion content. Where Adobe makes its money is the tools. This is why the Flash and Ajax code/frameworks have been open sourced, to avoid any such issues. There hop it if you develop something with their tools that you provide to someone else, that someone else may be encouraged to buy and use their tools as a result.
This is a really simplistic explanation, but you get the drift.

thanks lawrence I didn't see your message. I was reading the forum from my email and sometimes my spam program throws away mail I want to keep. Thank you for the basic answer. I do get the drift . I can now code without having that question lingering in the back of my mind.
I apologize for the confusion. I used the wrong word. I Meant to say General
Public License instead of open source. Kinda like www.wordpress.com except
they code in C. I want to make a Website and have it licensed under the GPL
but I will use dreamweaver and flash to write some of the code and some of
it will be handcoded. Does that violate the EULA? I just don't want to break
any rules or step on any toes if you know what I mean... I hope you do.

SnakEyez02 Jun 14, 2009 6:01 PM (in response to the_missing_link)If you develop an application using Dreamweaver that you want to distribute under your own license that is fine. Adobe's license only is in place to protect you from hacking into Dreamweaver's code and you then distributing a DW look-a-like as your own.

I'm glad there are a few people who understand what it really means. Thanks
again!
