Open Source Flex

Adobe announced that they are going to make Flex open source through Mozilla Public License (MPL).

Flex Quirk

It's official! Flex really is a development language. As proof I give you the following language quirk:

"...in Flex, months are 0 based, meaning 0 represents January and 11 represents December." - Adobe Flex 2 Training From the Source (ISBN: 0-321-42316)

Everyone knows that a true development language has silly quirks like this!

I wonder how this decision was made? Is there a benefit to a 0 based date? Just seems counter intuitive to me.
