Every song of every word - introducing the Open Platform's AS3 library
,----[ Quote ]
| Since its launch, the Open Platform has
| spawned a variety of interesting data

| creating interactive web content and the
| variety of free, open source tools
| available, we decided we ought to provide
| an AS3 library for our API.

,----[ Quote ]
| After studying the new rules -- published in the Federal Register last month
| and taking effect today -- the SFLC concluded that the laws are not
| FOSS-restrictive because they "apply to hardware manufacturers who distribute
| SDR devices, regardless if they use FOSS in them or not." And the Center says
| that since the rules specifically mention the GNU/Linux operating system, the
| FCC is actually acknowledging the importance of open source.
