This is great! Macromedia finally did it and just announced a Flex Non-Commercial/Non-institutional deployment license!
Quick highlights:
– if you intend to use Flex in a non-commercial and non-institutional manner like for educational purposes, community web pages, weblogs, students at schools and universities – you might qualify for this license
– you’ll get a package of software which you are allowed to use in a server and development environment and which provides you with a way to deploy your own non-commercial Flex applications
– there are no license costs besides $8.99 for shipping and handling costs

Oh boy, now I have to learn Flex. I thought I would come around that because of the price! š
Now this seems to be the time to give it a chance. Hope I will find the time for it.
Great news.

uh oh! this means bloggers can’t have the infamous banner trying to sell macromedia products… that wouldn’t qualify.
Thats great! Thast what the world was waiting for! Fantastic!!!!!!! Happy Flexing folks š
