Re: FW: Shockwave Licensing Petition - shockwave for free!

[Rob Koberg - Home]

You know...


I have not taken this all the way and haven't visited it for a while

but, I think there is a way to distribute Flash and Director Shockwave

for free.  If you sign up with microsoft to be a distributor of their

browser (which is free and easy).  Then you automatically get to

distribute several other things for free of which I believe are the

controls for Director and Flash.  I believe the argument MM will give

is, "Well, your clients won't be getting the most up to date version." 

What I say to that is great.  Who cares?  I would feel better about what

I developed if it was running under the engine it was created for.


oh well...
