It's not the 'binarisation' of the Web that's the only problem, but the fact that companies use it as a junkyard to gain control, gain discrimination against rivals and gain vendor lock-in.

When they finally decide to unbreak the web by releasing their browser plugin under the GPL, Gnash will have already catched up and it will be simply too late for them. But then, of course, F*cklight will be the real problem... Completely unimpressed at Adobe’s movements.
