Hm, I guess if you want to create .exe from .swf using
Open Source, you'd have to use one of the GPL flash rendering
libraries to display the file.
You could start with taking a look at 
    http://www.swift-tools.com/Flash/
which is a flash rendering library.
Another option is using flirt
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/flirt/
.
swftools also includes a rendering component, which is
in lib/modules/swfrender.c. It's still at an early stage, though.

Starting with one of these libraries, it's probably not too
much effort to link the .swf data into the .exe file and combine
it with a viewer.
