Adobe Systems Inc

The company that developed the PostScript language, the PortableDocumentFormat, the PhotoShop image-editing application and more.

They opensourced their 'Adam' and 'Eve' software projects on February 25, 2005. [http://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 BoostLibraries heavily.

Adobe is currently fighting a multi-front war. On the one hand, they are preoccupied with countering the impact of XaMl (the XmlPaperSpecification? part of it); hopefully the ExtensibleMarkupLanguage based MARS project will be a credible response. On the other, they need to make amends with the alienated OpenSource community, fuming over the Adobe decision regarding ScalableVectorGraphics.
