As far as I can see, we are talking about two files:

  $ find -iname "*.swf"
  ./htdocs/artefact/file/blocktype/internalmedia/mediaplayer.swf
  ./htdocs/js/tinymce/plugins/media/img/flv_player.swf

mediaplayer.swf comes from Moodle (also filed as bug #591201) and is
licensed under the GPLv2 or later:

  http://cvs.moodle.org/moodle/filter/mediaplugin/flvplayer.README.txt?view=markup

but the source will be available from one of the releases here:

  http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/browser/tags

flv_player.swf comes from tinymce and is also filed as bug #591206.

What is not clear to me however is the procedure, once we have the source
files, for building an swf from a .fla using only free software.

Cheers,
Francois
