Allow me to translate Adobe's recent post From http://www.adobe.com/choice/  I will put my translation in parenthesis.

At Adobe, we believe that the open flow of creativity, ideas, and information should be limited only (by what we implement and how freaking long it takes us to do it). (Our cash flow) thrives when people are (stuck with our) technologies that enable them to (pay us licensing to) express themselves and access information where and when they want. Everyone loses when technological barriers (and horrible security) impede the exchange of ideas (, security and reliability).

Openness (and proprietary complexity of code) is at Adobe's core. (Try parsing a PDF for malicious code or executables, sure you can read some of it in a text editor so that's open right?) Our first technology was an open standard that liberated publishing from proprietary printing systems, and soon afterward our PDF technology eliminated barriers to sharing documents (and malware) across platforms.

Adobe® Flash® (aka Trash and Crash) technology enables the delivery of content (and horrible computer performance experience) to hundreds of millions of people, regardless of platform or browser. In 2009, in partnership with Google, Research In Motion, and dozens of other companies, we formed the Open Screen Project, a coalition committed to making web experiences seamlessly available on any mobile device. (Never mind we have yet to get it shipping on actual mobile devices in the wild.)

We believe open markets that allow developers, publishers, and consumers to make their own choices about how they create, distribute, and access content are essential to progress. That's why we actively support technologies like HTML4, HTML5, CSS, and H.264, in addition to our own technologies. (Never mind its only Done just enough to simply wrap our own Flash, Shockwave plaftorms.)

As the web and mobile devices facilitate the free exchange of ideas like never before, we stand at the leading edge of an amazing revolution. (But we see that edge as a cliff and won't jump off it unless it's got an Adobe trademark bungee cord attached.)
