Are Adobe and Mozilla helping or hurting other free software players?
Adobe is hurting free software players in that does not yet provide an official interpretation of their EULA. What free software players developers need to know basically is: will Adobe sue us for *using* their player or generator tools for debugging our free software player ?
Mozilla is hurting free software players in that does not provide gnash with it's plugin finder service.
So, I would say Adrian is probably worrying about nothing - the code is GPL'd (as an option).
The whole idea beyond GPL is to be *tainting*. If it is *one* of *three* options, it will never taint anything. Adobe, or whoever else, will still be able to include in non-free applications.
