The thing was, to release Sputnik with a commercial license, and then, make gpl plugins for that software.
But you can only write GPL plugins for "GPL compatible" software.
A closed source product is not "GPL compatible" (except if it is the OS itself).
So, if I understood Marcik correctly, any Sputnik plugin interface would not be "GPL compatible".
So, if you really want to release such GPL plugin then you need to add some exception to allow its usage in such context (but then why using the GPL in the first place ?)
And, of course, you can't do this if you base your work on somebody's else GPL work (like libflash or Gnash).
But, really, let Marcik works on his favourite toy first :-)
AFAIK, there is no usable opensource flash player anyway.
