Their main goal is for this to happen:
"The current owner [Adobe] agrees to release FreeHand code and licensing to the opensource community for maintenance and further development for an agreed-upon price."

Well, if they succeed, then good. I rather quite liked Freehand. I've learnt to make peace with Illustrator, though.

The only thing I miss from Freehand was the anti-alias modes that made vectors look much cleaner than Illustrator... what were some features that you miss from Freehand that Illustrator doesn't do? I for one don't miss running Rosetta to use it...
