Flash is open source? Since when? And if it isn't what does the open
source community have to do with this?
This, quite recently from Usenet group gnu.announce:

The third alpha release of Gnash has just been made at version
0.8.0. Gnash is a GPL'd Flash movie player and browser plugin for
Firefox, Mozilla, Konqueror, and Opera. Gnash supports many SWF v7
features and ActionScript2 classes. Gnash also runs on many GNU/Linux
distributions, embedded GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, non x86
processors, and 64 bit architectures. Ports to Darwin and Windows are
in progress for a future release. The plugin works best with Firefox
1.0.4 or newer, and should work in any Mozilla based browser. There is
also a standalone player for GNOME or KDE based desktops.

I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
Too bad Flash is already on Version 9 and Adobe is doing everything they
can to force everyone to upgrade for better "features".
See <http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/> for some insight from the
Linux developer of the official closed source version.
