Hello.

I've been looking at the different mailing lists of gnash and this is
the one I think this is the one that fits the more to post this, sorry
if I am wrong.

I am using Ubuntu, and I added the repository

deb http://www.getgnash.org/debs/ubuntu lucid main

as recommended in http://www.getgnash.org/packages/

to update my gnash to 0.8.8 version.

The problem is that those gnash packages depends on nvidia-current
package, that are the non-free nvidia drivers.

For some years, I've been using gnash to avoid Flash for its
"proprieariness", and now I am forced to use the non-free drivers.


Thank you very much.

Mu.

P.S. When I review my message, it seems an unpolite or exigent
complaint, this is not my intention (English is not my native tongue).
I point this issue because because I think you want to promote free
software (or even combat proprietary one), and with the aim of
helping.
