I remember there once were two promising alternatives to proprietary Flash: Gnash and Swfdec (this was long before Lightspark appeared). What happened to Swfdec, so it doesn't even get a mention on LWN today? Is it totally dead?

Latest news on its website seem to be from 2008, which probably means exactly that.
