Since the release of Flash 10.1, manufacturers no longer have to pay per device.

Can I license Flash Player for distribution on mobile devices?

Members of the Open Screen Project are able to distribute Flash Player 10.1 with their devices royalty free; however, a license (contract) still needs to be in place between Adobe and the licensee.

Times have changed at Adobe. They need Flash on every platform they can get. The Android version is free for all in the Android Market. It's up to Nokia to port Flash 10.1 with hardware acceleration and all the bells and whistles, but since Maemo is dying and the focus has shifted to MeeGo they probably won't do it anytime soon, or ever.
