We could do that if we held the copyright. License to the public using the GPL, and license with a royalty taken and paid with proprietary codecs. While, on the one hand, that might seem to be rather AGAINST the mission of OpenMediaNow, what it would serve to do is get many more Flash players out there which can play Ogg/Theora ... which *is* within the remit of OpenMediaNow. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com | Software that needs Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | documentation is software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-323-1241 | that needs repair.
