I don't think Flash will ever be suitably open-sourced; even if the basic engine were open-source there'd still be the minefield of video and audio codecs.

If Silverlight gains enough traction then Adobe might be spurred into doing the same thing that Microsoft did. That is, endorse a free software implementation and distribute an official package of codecs (which have to be binary-only in the USA, sadly) to use with it.
