Adobe do both a free (as in beer) Flex SDK, and an open source (under
MPL) Flex SDK. The bits that are missing from from the MPL version
look to be the player, and the AIR env. All the compilers and
debuggers look to be included.
You only have to pay anything if you want the Flex Builder IDE.

So the problem with AS3 is open source playback rather than open
source development.
