Wasn't flex also open source at some point? I remember there was some hype about it a few years ago. At least the compiler and SDK were opened. Back then I played around with it a bit and eventually concluded the new AS was basically a re-do of the Java language, library and ecosystem (even the bytecode was similar). I know there is a curse on Java in the browser, and making it look like Java helps enterprise adoption, but mirroring Java to that degree looked like a bit of a wasted effort.
