I think there's info about legal issues developing opensource player in
http://gplflash.sourceforge.net/ (take a look in the wiki)

It would be great having a usable open source player but gplflash was quite stopped the last time I checked :-(

My apologies for persisting...
but I'd really like to hear your opinions on this very imaginary example:

I complete my open source Flash player. It can play back any swf correctly.
Mr X writes a browser plugin for it - assign .swf MIME in your browser to it
and it will be used instead of Macromedia's player.
It becomes hugely popular because of its superior speed (hello pixel
shaders! ;)
I live in Sweden. Mr X and the download server is in Nauru. It's all open
source. Nobody makes any money from it.
Adobe gets upset.

What happens next?
