The source code for the virtual machine in Adobe Flash Player is being contributed to the Mozilla Foundation. The open source project is called Tamarin. According to the chief technology officer of the Mozilla Corporation, "Now web developers have a high-performance, open source virtual machine for building and deploying interactive applications across both Adobe Flash Player and the Firefox web browser." (This information comes from Adobe and Mozilla's

press release about this project.)
