ehm.. did you ever look up what open source is? Open source can't be taken over by whatever entity.. when something is open source, there's no way back..
I really don't understand why people feel threatened by a second initiative that kind of touches the flash open source space.. One of the big benefits osflash (and the projects on there) has offered is choice.. The more choice, the better.. Perhaps someone can explain how another project could possibly be a problem? I'm glad to see the regulars take it easy on this one.. You made the choice to at least party depend on corporation for your web application problems. This corporation just happens to invest in the community a lot and allows people to build alternative applications and even embraces it.. Now this corporation set up a platform to allow people to share free software that could potentially take over the market of their own products (FDS vs. red5 for example).. and now your angry they chose to build a website to allow people to easily create these projects? "What about throwing some funding towards OSFlash.org to see things grow there. " .. oh boy stop the crazyness please!
