The problem with this spec is that it's license is really prohibitive... do you have any suggestions?

Is this that prohibitive? How is it more prohibitive than the old license?

http://www.adobe.com/licensing/developer/

- This license grants the Licensee access to the SWF file format specification to aid in the creation of software which creates SWF files.

- This license does not permit the usage of the specification to create software which supports SWF file playback.

- The SWF output from the Licensee software must create content which renders error free in the latest publicly available version of Macromedia Flash Player.

Regards,

Axl

That's only the short version. The full license text is here:

How about this:
b. You may not use the Specification in any way to create a server, executable, or other program that will stream or deliver data from a client to a server, from a server to another server, or from a server to a client.

You'll surely agree that this IS prohibitive.
