adobe.com — The Open Screen Project is working to enable a consistent runtime environment – taking advantage of Adobe® Flash® Player and, in the future, Adobe AIR™ -- that will remove barriers for developers and designers as they publish content and applications across desktops and consumer devices

Nope. This has Silverlight counter-attack written all over it.

The permission to write players with the specs started on May 1st. There's nothing more to do. Adobe isn't going down the OSS road. They're supporting open standards, claiming that they kept a singlee player for these many years in order to avoid splintering.<a class="user" href="http://www.ibeentoubuntu.com/2008/05/adobe-flash-specification-is-now-open.html">http://www.ibeentoubuntu.com/2008/05/adobe-flash-s ...</a>

Opening up the file format is not the same as making it free software. I don't use flash players myself but if you would like a free software implementation of a restricted file format player then use Gnash. This is the same as using free software for playing back DVD's. This is talking about the player not the file format. The file format itself is still very restricted by Adobe or put another way the DVD videos I watch with free software are still restricted.
