The problem with MP3 is it's patent-encumbered. Is Flash patented? The only objections I've heard to it are that there are no decent free players, so it's not possible to run most Flash on a free software stack. If pains were taken to ensure that the Flash worked with gnash, I don't think there would be a problem. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
