>> Is the current license preventing another players (like GNash)? >> Answer: No...
I wouldn't be so sure... If you look at the flash player licence, it says you can't reverse engineer it, create derivitive works based on it etc etc. So really you will break the licence one way or another. (btw, it says it is the flash license from the link and title, but it seems to be for pdf. Hey, maybe that means there is no player licence ; ). http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/players/flash/ "2.5.1 You may not modify, adapt, translate or create derivative works based upon the Software.
