The Flash plugin isn't a driver. It's, well, a plugin, a small program that plugs into, and extends, another. And Nokia wouldn't get Flash from TI. Nokia would need to license it from Adobe directly.

TI has only licensed the Flash plugin from Adobe for distribution to individuals and companies doing OMAP development. This allows OMAP developers to test Flash performance on their devices before they reach a point where they're ready to license Flash from Adobe themselves. And that's what's necessary. TI's Flash license doesn't allow their customers, the OMAP developers, to turn around and redistribute the Flash plugin to end users.
