Open sources means diversity, freedom to develop differently
and no control of a technoloty by one company, like Microsoft does
for long years in office desktop...

Subject: Re: [osflash] Open source flash players
Adobe is providing flash players for all major platforms I simply
don't see the point of gnash or other open source flash players. I do
believe in opening up the swf, flv, rtmp, etc.. and building tools
around that (haxe is a great example).
And no, I don't consider myself a leech, I do provide my share of open
source software to the community.
Cheers,
Alexander

Hey guys,
Just reading bits and pieces from these threads, I just have one small
point
to make.
Aside from practical issues targeting for gnash and otherwise, which I
can
completely agree with; I feel there's a bit of negativity around free
flash
players in general.
Although they might not be up to par with adobe's player, I feel the
effort
is something we should all promote and support.
Open source has helped us all tremendously, and an open flash player is
something is not some special edge case.
If you don't believe in the open source spirit, and you're perhaps just a
leech. you should still understand that competition drives innovation.
I personally run the adobe flash player, but look forward to the day
there's
solid viable alternatives.
