Re: [Gnash-dev] 2nd try: How can Internet Archive flash script pick codec to use?

I think the important thing to realise is that we're all here to ensure
freedom. The way I saw it, the esteemed John Gilmore started this thread
hoping to extend the SWF / AS format to include free codecs. Some
suggestions were made; Benjamin (Otte) wrote in to voice his opinion
that the best way to bring online video sites to be compatible with
"freedom" would be to not extend the SWF specs, which are proprietary in
nature, but to promote the <video> tag instead.
