Adobe drops license fee for Flash

Adobe has dropped the license fee for its Flash technology, to display video and audio content on the internet.

The open screen project will remove the license restrictions on SWF and FLV files, meaning users can build their own Flash player clones, reports Wired.

In addition, the company will remove the license fee on its Flash player, meaning developers can insert it into any program or application at no cost.

Abode also plans on releasing the protocols for Flash software, meaning users no longer need to us the Flash server software and they can build their own content delivery.

The move is similar to one made by the company on its PostScript and Portable Document Format (PDF), according to the website, whereby it scrapped license fees but still charged for the development tools.

Abode describes the Flash player as a "high-performance, lightweight" programme, which can be used across a wide range of systems, browsers, mobile phones and devices.
