I rarely use Macromedia. Does it have an open specification(s)?

If not, is it worth encouraging its continued use?

I see there is a GPL'd Flash that has this webpage:
http://gplflash.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/LegalSituation

What about instead having a petition to encourage companies and websites 
to use some open specification like SVG?

I see there are many websites mentioning "SVG versus Flash".
