Adobe Gives Browsers a Boost: "Software giant Adobe Systems releases its web-scripting engine under an open-source license, putting the code that makes Flash tick onto the table for all web browsers to use. Whether or not big players like Microsoft and Apple will take a bite remains to be seen. By Scott Gilbertson."

Well, smart move on Adobe's part. The web-scripting engine referred to in the opening sentence is ActionScript, which is the scripting language that helps Flash do so many of the things it does. Making ActionScript more ubiquitous like this can only lead to more sales of Flash and other Adobe products. Same idea as making Adobe Acrobat Reader free to all.
Very helpful information. Thanks!
