> Both alternatives that I mentioned, Flash and PNaCL did have open source implementations available, it is just a matter of following the links I posted. At least for Flash I remember that the OSS implementations couldn't run many real-world flash programs. Did this change later?

It was good enough to run Unreal.

  That's slightly interesting. But it doesn't change the fact that some programs fail to run on the open implementations. And why is that? Presumably it's a secret. This unknown difference in behavior is significant, even if the actual difference is small. It means one can intentionally write a program the only runs on proprietary implementations.
