It doesn't surprise me. I should have made my point clearer; I wasn't castigating FSF for having failed to support content creation software, just observing what I think the priority ought to be. In many ways, the FSF might be the wrong organisation. Usually, the FSF supports projects which further GNU. In this case, I think that's the wrong operating system - no professional graphic artist uses GNU*. The software would need to work on Macs or maybe PCs. There is a project supporting an alternative format - lunareclipse (http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight#Moonlight_IDE) - but given the context I don't expect to see any of the anti-Flash activists on this list go wild over it ;) Cheers, Alex. * - for realistic values of "no" _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
