Well, I don't think that is 100% true.  There are features of the runtime
that currently use proprietary third-party libraries that could potentially
block an effort to open source the runtimes as-is, but it doesn't mean that
an open source community couldn't replicate the functionality of those
libraries or the third-parties couldn't be convinced to donate or replicate
those libraries.  But the probability of that happening is low right now,
and I still believe the gating factor is in the testing resources required
to deliver the runtimes to all of its targets.

Way back in the archives, Dave McAllister mentioned at least one open source
Flash project.
