Increasing the pressure on adobe ?
Adobe has open sourced flex . There is a video player from flash which
is opensource . Overall some of them might not be purely free software
but adobe definitely is being careful ;)

Other than AJAX is there an opensource alternative in widespread usage ?

Re:flash video I think its going to die as most popular browsers like
FF ,IE,chrome and Safari are supporting HTML5 (M$ and Apple to support
their own codecs/formats )

There are huge set of multimedia & graphic designers living on Adobe
and its products . If they are educated and are made to sign this
petition maybe adobe will listen .
