Because you obviously know that they provide a family of licenses, both allowing and preventing commercial usage. The searchable media on their site can also be filtered to provide those that allow commercial usage.<p/>I guess I just don't understand what exactly you're having a proble with.

I guess I just don’t understand what exactly you’re having a proble with.

To compare with open source software, I am sure if the GPL had a non-commerical clause, even an optional one, it would have meant GNU/Linux wouldn't be anywhere close to where it is today.

Flash is an authoring tool + a player.<p/>I think it's also one of the reason SMIL never really took off: it is missing a good authoring tool. The only thing close to this is limsee (<a href="http://wam.inrialpes.fr/software/limsee2/">http://wam.inrialpes.fr/software/limsee2/</a>) I think that svg + smil wouldn’t be enought to be a flash killer.

Where does that five years come from?<p/>As for the usefulness without codecs, I agree and disagree. mp3 support is probably the more important of the codecs, but there isn't really a reason why Gnash can't just output the stream and the user/packager decides what happens to it (e.g., pipe it to gstreamer?)

I like the Idea of a GNU Flash player, and I don't think SVG and stuff is a viable option, because: There is already more than a truckload of flash material on the web, whether you like it or not, and people need a way to view it. And concerning the mp3 situation: Do we really have to wait 5 years? Actually I can listen to mp3 files today on my computer without paying to fraunhofer. How do I do it? I download the software and play it. It's that easy.<p/>Considering that I think of software patents and similar stuff as immoral, it's my moral duty to disobey them. ;)<p/>-Richard This seems to by quite a controversal post.
