flash question.

[chris200x9]

Does Adobe make money from licensing flash, or do they just make money from selling the toolset (i.e flash CS5)? If it is the latter why doesn't adobe opensource flashplayer, wouldn't having it available to the biggest audience possible be an advantage, and push more copies of flash?

We don't want to have to read through a bunch of legal EULA's to get the answer. ;)
