Michael. If you read the EULA you will see the following definition in section 1. I think it's pretty explicit and not ambiguous at all:
"Flash Media Server" means Adobe's proprietary software that streams audio, video and data over the Internet and IP networks and can be used to create Web-based interactive media applications." You will also see this in section 4.3: "4.3 General Restrictions. When used for streaming the Encoded Content to the Flash Media Server, you may only use the Software to stream Encoded Content to the Flash Media Server. You may not use the Software in any way to create a server, executable, or other program that will steam or deliver data and/or content from a client to a server, from a server to another server, or from a server to a client.

In this 2.1, Adobe only stated that FME must work in conjunction with FMS (Red5 is a FMS) and Adobe did not stated in this published article that for whoever use the FME, they must also required to use "Adobe" brand FMS, if this article become part or is part of the distribution license, and Adobe willing to allow users to use FMS without specifically required all users registered to use Adobe brand FMS, therefore it is fair to say Adobe itself knowing some users are using Red5 to be the FMS. If you know some legal cases that Adobe won in the past for such violation, please provide us with detail or link for such to support your comment so this community can benefit.
