Give us Flash's source code. That's the problem. It is a problem, but I am having a hard time believing that perspective. The OOS community can create a player. Since the SWF format is inherently open there is nothing really stopping anyone from making an awesome Flash plugin, yet no one has. Must me a reason for that. Oh wait, there is a reason. Money. Time. Adobe invests millions into R&D every year. Money that is used to do test cases and audience dynamics. OSS community does not. The problem is software patents. Not Adobe. Not OOS. And of course, not Flash. A root problem exists and Flash, like much software, is the result.
