We are glad to present an exclusive interview with Plamen Dragozov--Director of Engineering at PopCap's mobile studio in Dublin, Ireland. "OSNews prides itself on (trying to) cover the diversity of operating systems, and so whilst we rarely cover games, we have approached you to discuss not so much the games themselves, as the technical challenges you go through bringing your games to a wide range of platforms".

One answer that surprised me a bit was Plamen's response to the question about open-source. He mentions the PopCap Games Framework, but I was under the impression it is in the process of being discontinued and removed by PopCap.
The framework is still open-source and freely available, they have simply "discontinued" support for it. As far as I can tell, this can be likened to id releasing the quake source code with all kinds of developers extending and using it for their own projects.
Open-source is exactly that, there's no "taksies backsies" once you make it public domain.

Interesting interview, though I would have liked a bit more technical information.
