Just had a look at the Flash player and Shockwave EULA and it looks pretty
prohibitive. However, you may be correct about the flash language and
protocol. It is possible to create (limited) flash content with PHP and Perl,
for instance. But it looks like they don't want anyone else making players
for their stuff.

It would be nice if SVG became more widespread. I
wonder why Mozilla
doesn't include it in the normal releases. Since the source is available,
it couldn't be too difficult to make a free plugin version, could it?
There was talk about IBM trying to talk Sun into open-sourcing Java but
what with Suns new marriage to Microsoft, I don't see that happening
anytime in the near future. Flash is totally proprietary and probably
little or no possibility of making anything free out of it.
Actaully I think the flash language and protocol are open, its just the
shockwave implementation thats closed. I could be wrong though.
