About 30 Open Source Flash Projects

While Microsoft attacking back on RIA front to compete with Flash/Flex/Apollo with Silverlight, are they thinking about opensource route too? Flash is doing very well in that area. Here is a Open Source Flash site has all these great free and open Flash tools. It is this kind of healthy ecosystem that helps Adobe Flash defending well. But still, I think someone need buy Adobe eventually. Google or Yahoo (not if they do join Microsoft though)?
