Adobe Systems Inc

The company that developed the Post Script language, the Portable Document Format, the Photo Shop image-editing application and more.

They opensourced their 'Adam' and 'Eve' software projects on February 25, 2005. http://opensource.adobe.com/ opensource.adobe.com

What do people think of these projects? Personally, it automatically gained 10 points in my approval rating when I read that it uses the Boost Libraries heavily.


Adobe is currently fighting a multi-front war. On the one hand, they are preoccupied with countering the impact of Xa Ml (the Xml Paper Specification part of it); hopefully the Extensible Markup Language based MARS project will be a credible response. On the other, they need to make amends with the alienated Open Source community, fuming over the Adobe decision regarding Scalable Vector Graphics.
