Hello,
I think fedora should provide good and reliable software.
Swfdec isn't working properly with most sites.
It should be included as optional package - just as it is now.
That mess with american law is stupid.
American law sucks - and mostly patents for algorithms.
See you!

This is the case for general releases. The goal of the development
releases is to test more free software. If there are flash sites that
don't work well with swfdec (after installing plugins), file bug reports.

Software patents are not merely a U.S problem but increasingly a global
issue.

AFAIK lots of European countries have explicitly said no to software patents.

Read the link. Even when explicit patents to software are not accepted,
software related ideas can be patented in many places.

So you think having no Flash site work is a better solution than having some
Flash sites work?
Cheers,

Fixing Firefox to install flash plugin if that is what users want
would be the best solution IMHO.
See the bugzilla entry for that.

For what it's worth, on x86_64 swfdec is considerably more reliable than
the propritary flash plugin via nspluginwrapper on YouTube.
