There are many projects going on to preserve Flash and Shockwave content, which would benefit from open sourcing. We know you can't open source everything. You may withhold such parts and provide a note of what's missing. We know that a few parts have already been open sourced, but Flash and Shockwave remain proprietary formats.

For example, think about PIL (Python Imaging Library). It has been discontinued by the original developer but forked by the Pillow team as `PILlow`.

Please see our open sourced petition and help us to preserve internet history: https://github.com/open-source-flash/open-source-flash

Regards,

Your friends of Flash and Shockwave

echo Flash and Shockwave have not only shaped the web into what it is today, but also affected so many areas we couldn't even imagine before. Animations, gaming, broadcasting, advertising, music, arts, programming. The list is long. > flash.txt
echo Open sourcing Flash and Shockwave would be a decent thing to do. We don't want to see a big portion of internet history vanish. It empowered many people and brought joy for 20+ years. The internet represents the whole world and initiatives like the Internet Archive are important, but powerless without having open formats. > flash.txt
