open flash player, too

yes some developers trust open source, as being "a sign of integrity and trust in a vendor", and freedom too, but let's not forget that the swf runs on top of the flash player, so it's not free(dom), yet...

misses the point of flash player

one of the benefits of flash player for developers and businesses is that there is so much market penetration and assurance of certain features. If the flash player goes open source, I don't forsee it being long before alternative flash players start to show up with extra functionality or certain features turned off. That is why it will still be a while before the player is opened up. I don't see it never happening though.
