>> (Sorry, I'm not a good source for turning legalese into practicalese. But if you're asking if there's precedent for SWF importers, then I remember that a lot of folks have done this over the years. --jd)
I really don't think the meaning is in doubt though : ). A lot of people have created readers over the years, myself included, but most either have went to great pains not to ever look at the spec (that may not even be protection), or live with the idea that they can be shut down at a moments notice. It's ironic that there is an active open source swf community, a growing number of great open source and commercial tools, all around a spec that we aren't even allowed to parse. I think Adobe should join the party and at least make it legal to read a swf file into a program. I know it seems like a pretty big step, but it would really be a very positive move I think. As it is, its a dark cloud over everyone's head, and for something that isn't even enforced anyway...
