I think a lot of people don't understand that Adobe isn't capable of open sourcing the Flash Player. There are a number of technologies that Adobe licences but doesn't own inside the player itself. (ex, mp3 or H.264 playback) Adobe did, however, open source a significant part of the Flash Player as part of the Tamarin Project (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/tamarin/) with hopes that Mozilla would incorporate some of it's functionality into it's browser. Unfortunately, I don't think this ended up going anywhere. Great post!
