Missing .swf source files

[Derevko]

Hi,

sources for the following files are missing:

wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/media/img/flv_player.swf
wp-includes/js/swfupload/swfupload.swf

Cheers,
Giuseppe

There also is the Easter bunny ticket that requests the source for the obfuscated code.

As this is an external library, Is it really needed to include the extra files in the WordPress svn? (In the context of the WordPress package, Ignoring Debian packaging rules)

The Source of the SwfUpload library is available in their code repository for example: ​http://swfupload.googlecode.com/svn/swfupload/trunk/core/ However I cannot find the source for the TinyMCE plugin.

Cross referencing the Debian bug report which has sparked this ticket: ​http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=591195

TinyMCE source files can be found at github: ​https://github.com/tinymce
i don't think it is needed to include all the source files in the wordpress svn itself. as long as the external library's are used "as is" with no modifications to the source itself.

perhaps a simple solution would be to include a txt file with a link to the source code and/or website of this library?

Yes, but flvplayer.swf doesn't have its source in there.

At ​http://oos.moxiecode.com/flvplayer/, there is no source and its license is as below

As long as you don´t try to profit from/sell it in any way, it´s probably fine.

And TinyMCE folks seem to not care about this so much

WordPress is distributed under GPL2, but you should mention about exception for flvplayer.swf

• it's not OSS license at least.

This should be a blocker.

According to ​http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=8223
this is likely to be flv_player.swf from <​http://oos.moxiecode.com/flvplayer/>,
which does not come with source code, permission to distribute or any sort
of licensing information at all.

Replying to Derevko:

At the bottom of ​http://oos.moxiecode.com/flvplayer/:

License (update: 2010-11-11)
I get a few questions about what kind of license this player is released under. I don´t know, really.
You can do pretty much whatever the hell you want with it as far as I´m concerned ;) So use it for whatever, redistribute it, etc.
As long as you don´t try to profit from/sell it in any way, it´s probably fine. If you are unsure, just drop me a quick email.

The last line is problematic for GPL-compatibility.

Line breaks accidentally removed, so to clarify, I mean this line is problematic:

"As long as you don´t try to profit from/sell it in any way, it´s probably fine."

The media plugin is buried on the second button row for single site installs and not displayed at all for multisite. It really shouldn't even be shown to those who don't have unfiltered_html. We've discussed removing it entirely in the past. Let's go ahead and lose it.

(In [17288]) Remove the TinyMCE media plugin. fixes #14647.

[nacin]

(In [17289]) Revert unrelated cruft in [17288]. see #14647.

[nacin]

(In [17291]) Remove the button too. props ryan, see #14647.
