Isn't Gnash illegal? SWF says 'implementing software that plays the format is disallowed by the specification's license.' Jibjibjib 06:57, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

The Gnash FAQ [1] says:
 * Q:     In which countries is the MacroMedia EULA valid?

   A:     Probably none, your mileage may vary...
So I guess they just ignore it. -- intgr 12:08, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
Good question. I am going to do a little research into this. Bstone 16:19, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Well, they also gave me the same answer on their IRC channel. -- intgr 17:15, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Gnash was developed with a clean room focus, and none of the developers on the Gnash team have ever agreed to this license, as none of us has ever installed the Adobe tools. It did make development more difficult in the beginning, but we rely on our users to tell us what the commercial player does, and then we work on Gnash till everyone is happy. 89.22.24.205 11:26, 29 December 2006 (UTC) Rob Savoye
