I think the GPL doesn't require you to distribute the source *with*
the binary, only that you provide the source code by some means, eg.
separately through a different channel.

I think his point was that some people don't use Flash because of its
proprietary nature.

And my point is that it's irrelevant and superfluous.

Youtube can be used via downloaders. It's not as practical, but possible.
Flash, in the form it exists right now, should be banned from this
world. It's a nice idea, but pretty much screwed up as a system.

I think you are letting your aversion take over rational judgement
because you can't concede even one single positive thing about Flash
(ie. that it makes services like YouTube really practical).
Well, if you don't want to use Flash, that's your loss.

Dunno. I never really looked into the innards of either.
MS *does* tend to improve what they copy. :-) I'd expect Silverlight to
be better in many ways than Flash, just because MS got to see all the
things Flash did wrong.
