1) The content you create, and applications you develop using open source software, don’t become open source themselves unless you explicitly licence them that way.

2) Flex will be open sourced under the MPL (Mozilla Public License) which is the same licence of the Firefox browser and other products.

3) Gnash is under the GNU GPL

4) Google already uses open source software massively. Linux, Java, Apache, Mysql, Python are among the core technologies they use, which gave them an edge to build the company from efficient cheap parts, without any licencing overhead.

For Google, using something other than open source would be the rare case.

I’d go as far as to say that, for any realistic plan to exploit flash-related technology for advertising, Google needs the general public to be able to access content creation tools for free, just like they were able to create HTML, the more pages out there, the better, more eyeballs, more advertising space to be filled equals more advertising revenue for Google.

Google doesn’t need to own neither Adobe nor Flash to accomplish this.
