It got taken down because of spam abuse; we do still have it, but it does really need to be updated. Gnash is on my list of things to try out, but I'd love to hear from anyone who's tried it. Flash is relatively non-DRM'd; to be honest, it's just not that great a media delivery system anyway. Vector animation it does outstandingly well, video and audio are definitely poor cousins. Like MJ, I have no particular love of Adobe, and it's a shame that they continue to peddle the 'must be 100% compatible' meme when asked about a free software player. It's mostly within their purview (granted maybe not mp3, etc.) and Sun have seemed to have given up the same excuse for free Java.
