http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ As long as you don't accept Adobes license for the Flash Player File Format docs, you should be free to develop a Flash Player clone that reads SWF. But then again, i'm not a lawyer, but i would guess the GNU foundation consults lawyers to secure their projects. cheers, claus. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
