Unless you have a Rev license - then you have an open source IDE  
built on top of a proprietary engine - similar to flash and not too  
far even from Java where the developer has effectively no control of  
the runtime bite-code compiler which is free but not open.

Java projects are generally thought of as pure open source - Rev  
projects could be marketed in a very similar fashion. With Java you  
often pay mucho for professional development environments - though  
there are "free" open source versions available.
