+<p><a href="http://www.getgnash.org/">The Gnash project</a> is the
+most promising solution for a Free Software Flash implementation. It
+has done great so far, but there is still far to go, and recently its
+funding has dried up. I believe AVM2 support in Gnash is vital to the
+continued progress of the project, as more and more sites show up with
+AVM2 flash files.</p>
+
+<p>To try to get funding for developing such support, I have started
+<a href="http://www.pledgebank.com/gnash-avm2">a pledge</a> with the
+following text:</P>
+
+<p><blockquote>
+
+ <p>"I will pay 100$ to the Gnash project to develop AVM2 support but
+ only if 10 other people will do the same."</p>
+
+ <p>- Petter Reinholdtsen, free software developer</p>
+
+ <p>Deadline to sign up by: 24th December 2010</p>
+
+ <p>The Gnash project need to get support for the new Flash file
+ format AVM2 to work with a lot of sites using Flash on the
+ web. Gnash already work with a lot of Flash sites using the old AVM1
+ format, but more and more sites are using the AVM2 format these
+ days. The project web page is available from
+ http://www.getgnash.org/ . Gnash is a free software implementation
+ of Adobe Flash, allowing those of us that do not accept the terms of
+ the Adobe Flash license to get access to Flash sites.</p>
+
+ <p>The project need funding to get developers to put aside enough
+ time to develop the AVM2 support, and this pledge is my way to try
+ to get this to happen.</p>
+
+ <p>The project accept donations via the OpenMediaNow foundation,
+ <a href="http://www.openmedianow.org/?q=node/32">http://www.openmedianow.org/?q=node/32</a> .</p>
+
+</blockquote></p>
+
+<p>I hope you will support this effort too. I hope more than 10
+people will participate to make this happen. The more money the
+project gets, the more features it can develop using these funds.
+:)</p>

-<p>A few days ago I had the mixed pleasure of bying a new digital
-camera, a Canon IXUS 130. It was instructive and very disturbing to
-be able to verify that also this camera producer have the nerve to
-specify how I can or can not use the videos produced with the camera.
-Even thought I was aware of the issue, the options with new cameras
-are limited and I ended up bying the camera anyway. What is the
-problem, you might ask? It is software patents, MPEG-4, H.264 and the
-MPEG-LA that is the problem, and our right to record our experiences
-without asking for permissions that is at risk.
-
-<p>On page 27 of the Danish instruction manual, this section is
-written:</p>
-
-<blockquote>
-<p>This product is licensed under AT&T patents for the MPEG-4 standard
-and may be used for encoding MPEG-4 compliant video and/or decoding
-MPEG-4 compliant video that was encoded only (1) for a personal and
-non-commercial purpose or (2) by a video provider licensed under the
-AT&T patents to provide MPEG-4 compliant video.</p>
-
-<p>No license is granted or implied for any other use for MPEG-4
-standard.</p>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>In short, the camera producer have chosen to use technology
-(MPEG-4/H.264) that is only provided if I used it for personal and
-non-commercial purposes, or ask for permission from the organisations
-holding the knowledge monopoly (patent) for technology used.</p>
-
-<p>This issue has been brewing for a while, and I recommend you to
-read

-The Sort Of Free That Matters</a>" by Simon Phipps to learn more about
-the issue. The solution is to support the
-<a href="http://www.digistan.org/open-standard:definition">free and
-open standards</a> for video, like <a href="http://www.theora.org/">Ogg
-Theora</a>, and avoid MPEG-4 and H.264 if you can.</p>
