I have to ask this question, although I should note that I'm an outsider.
Why should we contribute to OLPC when OLPC has already agreed to using Microsoft's software and apparently has no (moral) objections to using Adobe's software? To me (again, as an outsider) it seems to me that OLPC has generated a *huge* free software development momentum, and a massive amount of work was completed in order to let a giant software stack run cleanly and quickly on the OLPC. Now OLPC has decided to throw the majority of that work out of the window (pun not intended) in favour of a proprietary solution from a vendor that has apparently discovered a new part of the world to enslave. To me, it seems like whatever work might be done to get Gnash working nicely on the OLPC is going to be thrown away almost as soon as it might potentially be finished. So, I ask, why contribute?
