Do you think Microsoft paid Macromedia to include the player in Win98 or do you think Macromedia paid through the nose to get there? I think much effort should be spent to make hardware companies open specs. The open source world should make it clear that it is only to their benefit. Legislature should be encouraged. As for software technologies like flash - I think they are great. And while I might even donate a few bucks for them to be available in FreeBSD, but I really think that time should better be spent trying to develop SVG and such so we can forget about the proprietary hell we're stumbling upon every other day.
