Alright, I'll take the bait. The operative statement in that page seems to be that "Flash Player is part of a rich ecosystem of both open and proprietary technologies." Apparently it is sufficient to mention a partial implementation (that does not even support AVM2).
We can't fully implement all Flash technologies without receiving a DMCA threat from Adobe.[1] Nor can we even redistribute the codecs Flash requires without coughing up money for the multimedia industry's henchmen. So, to rephrase that phrase: "Flash Player is part of a restrictive ecosystem of publicised yet proprietary technologies."
