Not necessarily. Gnash and swfdec are Free software flash players.
Tried gnash but it did not work for me. It had many crashes, lockups etc. I am
running slackware 12.0, VESA video driver and konqueror as my browser. I will
not recommend it now for sure.
Which version was this? You really should be using the very latest one
to get a feel of improvements since the codebase has changed pretty
heavily over time.
I Dont know about swfdec though. Never tried it myself.
You could.
And I don't think flash should be endorsed by FOSS. It is not an open format
AFAIK. I consider not having flash a feature.. ;) especially with metered
downloads..
Endorsing and inter operating are two different things. We deal SMB via
Samba or Microsoft Office formats via things like Openoffice.org all the
time. I doubt anybody considers either as a form of endorsement of
proprietary technology or formats.
