if i remember correctly macromedia's flash licence doesn't

No, you're right, the official Flash specification is only
available to developers who agree not to make competing players.
Luckily for us, though, Gnash is a clean-room implementation as
far as I can tell.
Gnash isn't the first attempt at a free flash player, just the
one that's gotten the furthest along (though I can't verify that
right now because it requires OpenGL and my tablet running
Ubuntu from Emperorlinux currently can't do GLX and the pen
stuff simultaneously.)

Regarding flash content creation on linux there's also this:
http://ming.sourceforge.net/
I've used it (in python) some months ago to make some flash GUIs for a
client. If you're a programmer it's far easier to make stuff with this
than using the Flash application itself.
