The risk does not outweigh the self-satisfaction they'd feel.
The risk depends on what country you are in.

Perhaps we could collect money to pay the needed licence for Flash 10 ourselves to Adope?

Somehow I doubt that this would work. It would be bad publicity for Adobe that some end users would need to pay them to get their "free" product.

However, would it be possible to negotiate with TI to get their development build of Flash 10 to be distributed more widely to Maemo community? Maybe community council (with help of Quim Gil maybe) could contact TI and negotiate on what terms we could install their version of Flash? Of course there could also be some impossible obstacles (like some licensing stuff between Adobe and TI) but atleast we could get more information about the situation.

This is a very good question, I will try to make some contacts on Council level so there is at least some hope of an official response before the whole thing erupts in a rapidshare frenzy and/or TI cutoff of distribution. Ideally, it would be cool if we could use tweakflashver to swap in-out this flash plugin *legally* just as we do the faked one (technically it's the same process).

I did apply for this legitimately 5 days ago and have heard nothing, so I am hoping TI haven't decided to stop giving this out already.
