Assumed that Adobe stops further FM development wouldn't it be an option 
to make the source code publically available and let the open source 
community take over?

I'm sure there are lots and lots of coders around the world who are 
eager to maintain and enhance such a great software. This would sooner 
or later bestow us a Linux version of Framemaker :) ...

Just my 2cents ...
