We understand your concerns. All I can say is that we are not aware of any plans to open source the decoders or encoders for VP6 or 7 at present.
However, On2, have, as I am sure you are aware, made significant contributions to the open source community in the past and it is not beyond the realms of possibility that we will make further such contributions in the future.
It seems to me your comments / concerns could equally be applied to, for example, RV10. Any codec in fact where the source code is not freely available.
You are no doubt aware that VP6.2 is the new codec in Flash 8 and MacroMedia also have rights to use VP7 at a later date. Perhaps the huge distribution that this implies may alleviate some of your concerns.
