Adobe Source Libraries for Mac

Adobe Source Libraries is a groundbreaking initiative by Adobe to open up their source code to outside development. This move marks a significant departure from Adobe's traditional closed-door approach. The software giant is now embracing the community's help through the GNU GPL license. While the libraries released here are not under GNU, they are available under the MIT license.

Adam and Eve, the codenames for the C libraries responsible for the visual appearance and behavior of Adobe applications like Photoshop and Acrobat, can now be harnessed, improved, or adapted by developers. This release coincides with the launch of Adobe's dedicated website for open-source applications, which can be found at opensource.adobe.com.

Adobe Source Libraries is a welcome step forward for Adobe, as it demonstrates their willingness to engage with the open-source community for the first time. This move opens up new possibilities for collaboration and innovation in the development of Adobe's programs.
