  Flex SDK is as open as Clang/LLVM, which Apple uses to make iPhone apps. If you want to argue an open Flex SDK makes the whole thing an open standard, then you'd better be prepared to call Cocoa an open standard too, which means your whole argument is shit.

  The point to the matter is that the runtime is not open, and that makes all the difference. You can make proprietary tools for an open system, and it won't matter because someone else can make their own tools for that system. You can't make open tools for a proprietary system without the blessing of the system's owner because they can always change the system to screw you over.
