I wonder if Gnash or SWFdec could be made to impersonate the Adobe Flash player, so they could work with Hulu.

They would have to defeat the Flash DRM.
This is very easy to do, of course. The encryption they use is a stripped-
So breaking the DRM is easy, but it would automatically be hit with a DMCA
Thankyou, USA Government and friends for keeping the world safe for piracy,

Doesn't this fall under the reverse engineering clause of the DMCA? There is some confusing language in there about "achiev[ing] interoperability of an independently created computer program with other programs."
If not, support could still be added to Gnash / SWFDec in loadable module form. Not everyone lives in the US and Canada.
