What Adobe announced is the release of the SWF specification without the license agreement. The specification has never included a license to third-party technologies like codecs, which is still true today. Thus, developers of SWF-compliant applications are responsible for ensuring that their implementations do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, including those of codec providers.
