Huh? What a bad attempt at telepathy. I would rather that people used free software to view open formats containing Flash-like content. Using free software to view closed formats is very much a second choice, because of the risk of the free software being like a cheap taster that gets users "hooked" on the "drug" of the closed format, encouraging them to use the format-controller's proprietary software viewer to get access to the latest features. Of course, having no way to convert the closed formats to something more useful is even worse. Does Gnash include a converter usually? I keep seeing it described as a player only and I can't see how to save video from the documentation, but I might be missing something.
