Did you really read the links? I can't do your homework for you. "I'm not even a Flash developer, so please forgive me if I am not understanding properly." Me neither I am just an average guy that likes computers. I am not even a developer of anything. But it is very clear to me that flash is not open and Adobe does not intent for it to be other than for PR. So far I haven't seen evidence to the contrary. If Adobe would open source (GPLv2/BSD/Apache, etc) flash and would give the future development and implementation to an independent party (W3C?) made of various corporations, organizations and individuals that have stakes at flash I'd be all for flash. P.S. I think a BSD/MIT/Apache license would be better.
