Adobe has just announced it is contributing its ActionScript Virutal Machine, the core of Flash Player, to the open source Mozilla Foundation. Mozilla will use the code to create a new open source project called Tamarin with the goal of creating an open source, standardized, high-performance implementation of ECMAScript 4th edition scripting language.

“This is a major milestone in bringing together the broader HTML and Flash development communities around a common language, and empowering the creation of even more innovative applications in the Web 2.0 world,” - Kevin Lynch, Senior VP and Chief Software Architect of Adobe

Adobe’s most recent virtual machine for ActionScript 3.0, a core component of Adobe Flash Player 9 released in June 2006. The donation, was announced at the Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco, and will be the largest contribution of code to Mozilla in it’s history. Press release
