Adobe Releases Flash 11 and AIR 3

The Register has a bit more to say about Adobe's repositioning of Flash for games as a competetive strategy.

    That's infinitely more open than Objective-C

    What makes you say that? The Objective-C compiler (clang) is open source (UIUC, BSD-style, license). Apple's runtime is also open source (APSL), and the GNUstep project has a more portable replacement (MIT licensed). In both cases, you're using proprietary libraries (in the Flash player or Cocoa Touch0.
