At this point in time, Gnash is substantially different than GameSWF.

Much of the GameSWF code has been rewritten to support new features and other improvements, but it was a good code base to start with.
The maintainer of GameSWF had zero interest in a more actively developed project, so I forked GameSWF and made it into Gnash. I thought about that for a few months while I was busy doing Katrina relief work (I'm a search and rescue volunteer), and when I came back, I decided a free Flash plugin was a good thing. I didn't think much of it until one day John Gilmore asked if I'd make it a plugin for Firefox. GameSWF was a public domain Flash player project that I did some work on for a customer (I'm a consultant and contract programmer) about a year and a half ago. Can you talk a bit about the history of the Gnash project? Update: Gnash has a new release available on the Gnash homepage. If you are interested in trying it out, you can download Gnash here, and Rob said a new release is expected very soon. I talked with Rob Savoye, the lead developer on the project, about what Gnash is and what the goals for this implementation for open source Flash are.

One of the most famous is Gnash, a GNU Flash movie player. With Sun's recent announcement that they are planning on freeing Java under the GPL and Adobe's decision to open source the Actionscript Virtual Machine, I thought it would be good to take a look at other open source Rich Internet Application solutions.
