"Adobe just announced that it will open source Flex under the MPL license." The move is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2007.
Adobe will continue to offer a commercial form of Flex, to provide "customers and partners flexibility in how they choose to license the Flex SDK."
Flex is a rich internet application framework based on Flash, including a component library, an Eclipse-based dev tool, and data services.
From Adobe's page on the announcement:
This includes not only the source to the ActionScript components from the Flex SDK, which have been available in source code form with the SDK since Flex 2 was released, but also includes the Java source code for the ActionScript and MXML compilers, the ActionScript debugger and the core ActionScript libraries from the SDK. The Flex SDK includes all of the components needed to create Flex applications that run in any browser - on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux and on now on the desktop using "Apollo."
