I would take Ray Camden as his word until proven otherwise. I dont
know if Ray is an Adobe employee, but I think Ben Forta is. The below
statement doesnt exactly feel like a conspiracy to "pass it off as a
community effort." They didnt use the word "community" (at least where
I read) but what they did do is explain who did what. That seems
reasonable to me.

Rob, and will be a hosted project shortly.) This site is Adobe

I agree. If they start rejecting projects based on some political
stuff then that would really suck and would cause, I think a backlash.
For example, if they were to reject a project like red5 then I think
they would really have a problem. If they do that kind of thing they
will indeed be proving the suspicions right. I just prefer that they
actually *do* something screwed up before jumping all over them. But
if they do I am totally ready to jump on the bandwagon :).

Hank
