MACROMEDIA, INC

Macromedia Flash File Format (SWF) Specification License Agreement

[...]

2.    Licenses
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a
nonexclusive license to use the Specification for the sole purposes of

  Nowhere does it mention the possibility to use the specifications to develop
a SWF player/ plugin.
