One of the most popular and ubiquitous rich media plug-ins for any browser on almost any platform is the Macromedia (now Adobe) Flash player.
Thanks to efforts of the Free Software Foundation, a Free Software Flash player called GNU Gnash is now in active development. The development is apparently occurring without the help or support of Adobe in any way. An Adobe/Macromedia spokesperson was unable to comment on the development.
Flash player has always been free, but not in the Free and Open Source Software sense, as it is a proprietary application licensed under a closed source license.
GNU Gnash, in contrast, is licensed under the GNU GPL.
