Then, there must be an error in Wikipedia "Adobe Flash¹" page.
Not at all.
It says: "Licence: Proprietary EULA">:-)

You seems to be conflating 3 different entities:
1. Adobe Flash
2. Adobe Flash Player
3. SWF file format
AFAIK:
#1 As per Wikipedia → Licence: Proprietary EULA (it can be wrong, though)
#2 Adobe Flash Player is closed source, non freely distributable, etc...
#3 Falls into #1 (is just a "container")
No. It's a file format, and that file format has (except for
Sorensen Spark) been published.
So, what is the current status of Flash technology, which license uses...?
You're still apparently confusing Flash the closed-source authoring
software, Flash the closed-source player software and the
proprietary-but-published (and very complex, with many different
file extensions) SWF file.
Adobe's SWF license allows others to create "flash" players.
