The scripting engine of Flash (which, from what I've been told, is very much like Javascript anyway) has been donated to Mozilla, and will be part of their future JS implementation (I gather).

Now the only part that bothers me is that this likely means the Mozilla license will be used, which is AFAIK GPL-incompatible, which means that Konqueror will not get native flash in the foreseeable future now. Especially because I think that this move will cause work on the free flash player front (Gnash, and I believe there were others) to slow down.
Are Adobe and Mozilla helping or hurting other free software players?
Uh, guys...please check the sources. The engine is being released under tri-license (MPL, GPL, LGPL), just like the rest of the Mozilla code.
