Re:Official reasons why Adobe doesn't open-source Flash on Wednesday February 10, 2010 @04:12AM (#1114520)
Highly doubtful if Adobe will ever come out with a clear answer, meanwhile - wanted to point you to this comment exchange on another Adobe blog:

  Your comment is extremely interesting because it 
  seems to be the first time Adobe has publicly acknowledged
  that the real reason for that DMCA takedown was the
  encryption scheme NOT *potential* copyright infringement.
  Meaning that Adobe deliberately mis-used the DMCA and mis-led
  the entire community about the real reasons for the takedown
  right?
