Adobe removes all restrictions on SWF and FLV specs

Adobe has announced the Open Screen Project http://www.openscreenproject.org/, an initiative dedicated to driving consistent experiences across all devices including mobile phones, personal computers, consumer devices and more

Specifically, this work will include:

• Removing restrictions on use of the SWF and FLV/F4V specifications
• Publishing the device porting layer APIs for Adobe Flash Player
• Publishing the Adobe Flash® Castâ„¢ protocol and the AMF protocol for robust data services
• Removing licensing fees – making next major releases of Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR for devices free

I wonder how long it will take to see various open source flash players?!
