LOL. I'd like to talk to those hosts to see what their issue was. It is like them telling you no to putting Pear on the server. It isn't their call. You pay for space...put what you want on the server, as long as it is legal. As said, it doesn't take the host to install it. Again, amfphp is nothing more than a set of files you put on your server.
Although Adobe has the patent I HIGHLY doubt they would nix other amf products. That will just limit Flash's use with other technologies which would be dumb. There is a free Remoting gateway for .net as well and about 2 or 3 for php. They would be dumb to stop it and I say they would never do it especially since MM was becoming so community driven and Adobe is continuing, and bettering it seems (hence the Flex 2 pricing, etc), to work with the community. IMO, Adobe will never tell everyone using amfphp they need to stop. As said, that would be dumb.
