+&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.getgnash.org/&quot;&gt;The Gnash project&lt;/a&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To try to get funding for developing such support, I have started
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pledgebank.com/gnash-avm2&quot;&gt;a pledge&lt;/a&gt; with the
+following text:&lt;/P&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+
+  &lt;p&gt;&quot;I will pay 100$ to the Gnash project to develop AVM2 support but
+  only if 10 other people will do the same.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+  &lt;p&gt;- Petter Reinholdtsen, free software developer&lt;/p&gt;
+
+  &lt;p&gt;Deadline to sign up by: 24th December 2010&lt;/p&gt;
+
+  &lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+  &lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+  &lt;p&gt;The project accept donations via the OpenMediaNow foundation,
+  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openmedianow.org/?q=node/32&quot;&gt;http://www.openmedianow.org/?q=node/32&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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.
+:)&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;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.
-
-&lt;p&gt;On page 27 of the Danish instruction manual, this section is
-written:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;This product is licensed under AT&amp;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&amp;T patents to provide MPEG-4 compliant video.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;No license is granted or implied for any other use for MPEG-4
-standard.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;This issue has been brewing for a while, and I recommend you to
-read
-&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.osnews.com/story/23236/Why_Our_Civilization_s_Video_Art_and_Culture_is_Threatened_by_the_MPEG-LA&quot;&gt;Why
-Our Civilization&#39;s Video Art and Culture is Threatened by the
-MPEG-LA&lt;/a&gt;&quot; by Eugenia Loli-Queru and
-&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://webmink.com/2010/09/03/h-264-and-foss/&quot;&gt;H.264 Is Not
-The Sort Of Free That Matters&lt;/a&gt;&quot; by Simon Phipps to learn more about
-the issue.  The solution is to support the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.digistan.org/open-standard:definition&quot;&gt;free and
-open standards&lt;/a&gt; for video, like &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theora.org/&quot;&gt;Ogg
-Theora&lt;/a&gt;, and avoid MPEG-4 and H.264 if you can.&lt;/p&gt;
