Adobe Helps To Improve Flash Player Integration Into Mozilla Firefox

“Adobe Systems Inc. is contributing some of the computer code behind its widely used Flash player to the Mozilla Foundation so that it can be improved upon and blended into an upcoming version of Mozilla’s Firefox Web browser.”

“The code covers the scripting language in Adobe’s Flash software, which millions of people use to view online media and other dynamic applications delivered over the Internet.”

“Mozilla has set up an open-source project called “Tamarin” to manage the future contributions to the scripting language code from Adobe. The project will be jointly managed by developers from Adobe and Mozilla.

“By working with the open-source community we are accelerating the adoption of a standard language for creating and delivering richer, more interactive experiences that work consistently across PCs and mobile devices,” said Kevin Lynch, Adobe’s chief software architect.”

Is this the preface to the complete open sourcing of Flash Player?

Well, one can dream, can one not?
