Yes, FlexBuilder is not open source, neither is the free Adobe Flex
SDK. But there is the Opensource Flex SDK on that page which is
licensed under the MPL. From <http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Legal+Stuff
>
"There are 2 licenses to consider for the various packages of the Flex
SDK.
Mozilla Public License, version 1.1 (MPL)
Primarily covers the source code of the Open Source Flex SDK including
the Flex framework, the compilers, and the debugger.
Adobe Flex SDK license
Covers elements that Adobe was not able to release under an open
source license including the Adobe® Flash® Player, Adobe® AIR™, and
other third-party code used by the Flex SDK for specific functions,
such as font encoding."

The Flex SDK is open source <http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Downloads
