Erm, I quoted you from the Adobe EULA, what else do you want ?
Quoting something saying "thou shalt not" is
not proof that anyone has done it.
The link I posted is from Adobe. They run the Open Screen Project. They explicitly state:
"To support the mission of the Open Screen Project and as part of the company's ongoing commitment to enable web innovation, Adobe will continue to open access to Adobe Flash technology. This work will include:
- Removing restrictions on use of the SWF and FLV/F4V specifications: Effective May 1, 2008, Adobe removed the entire licensing agreement from the SWF and FLV/F4V specifications. These licensing restrictions had meant that no one could build software that would "play" SWF content."
Developers are free to write Flash players based on the published specs.
Yes, lets call it quits.
