I wonder if projects are subject to screening -- what would Adobe do when a project like Red5 comes along. Don't think the legal department would be very happy if they are seen as supporting development of something they might want to challenge as an infringement of their IP later on.
Really like to see them going in this direction but they might as well sponsor an independent group, a commercial company like Adobe running on open source community seems a bit odd if you ask me. At the very least this will get more people involved with open source RIA development which is of course not a bad thing for the community as a whole.
