My 2 cents: Even if RIAForge is a competitor of OSFlash (it is surely not from my point of view) it would be good news. Competition, also in non-profit/open source sector, is always a good thing.
Image the Flash evolution with a more serious competitor as e.g. Livemotion. Not to harm the Flash evolution but without competition things get lazy. I felt the evolution of the Flash Platform has really become faster as the Sparkle (Flash Killer) news came up. Perhaps there would not already be Flash Player 9 Linux beta if Vista release would be 2008.
