You heard #Adobe. Deep down you knew this was coming. Now all your art are belong to them. Time to move on to better things…
Kreative Suite

Also:
* Inkscape - create sophisticated vector-graphic designs
* Scribus - layout like a pro
* GIMP - need we say more
* Blender - ditto
Right, I’m not a creative professional but the occasions I need tools adobe provides there are plenty of open source alternatives I use instead.
Sadly most people won’t care about what adobe is doing, but I can only hope they continue to shoot themselves in the foot. I yearn for the day when they aren’t the dominant player in the space, maybe in 15 years.
I hope they are made to care via the court system, because it is now legally impossible to use Adobe for most proprietary purposes.
If this post is true a lot more of the people who matter should be caring once they become aware and if they don’t them the people who need confidentiality should. We’ll see how the cards fall.
