Things are more complicated than just having a player, you need decent authoring tools. This makes the situation a lot more complicated. If another project came along offering to provide a free authoring tool for SVG+EMCAScript then I am sure the FSF would support that too. There isn't any such thing at the moment, so I'm not sure what you're suggesting the FSF do, other than discommunicate the Gnash developers. -- Noah Slater <http://bytesexual.org/> "Creativity can be a social contribution, but only in so far as society is free to use the results." - R.
