Section 3a seems of the "Adobe SWF and FLV File Format Specification License Agreement" seems to be pretty clear that the specification does not allow additional client programs, players, etc. to use the format. Even if this has been implemented by reverse-engineering or clean-room techniques, then this may require some legal review to ensure that this was done appropriately to avoid legal issue down the road for GNOME. Has this been done? Are we really comfortable adding something into the official GNOME project that has known legal/licensing issues? --- http://www.adobe.com/licensing/developer/fileformat/license/ For reference, Section 3a says: 3. Restrictions a. You may not use the Specification in any way to create or develop a runtime, client, player, executable or other program that reads or renders SWF files.
