I humbly suggest you skim the web site, documentation wiki, Such a small amount of effort would certainly enlighten you as to the SWFTools' project originator, and maintainer(s). Should you feel that this information is not obvious, then let me know. I will make sure the wiki states it more clearly. As far as I am aware, Hans is but a happy user of the swftools utility suite. Anyone is welcome to be a contributor, in whatever form that should take, from mailing list comment, suggestions and assistance, to code patches. Such is the nature of an *Open Source* project. Finally.. Choosing to not run proprietary software is my personal choice. Since Adobe publishes the file format specifications for both SWF and PDF ( see: http://wiki.swftools.org ), and there is such a plethora of excellent software out there which maniplates those formats, including SWFTools itself, why should anyone who 'manages' an Open Source project need to run Adobe products? Compatiblity should surely be with the file formats, and not with proprietary software applications that also maniplate them. This includes AIR.
