Firefox: Youtube all Html5: An alternative to flash

Hi,

I discover since a week Youtube all html5.
I've remove flash and adobe repo and Youtube play video normally. This addon can replace flash!  Well, we have some bugs (lists do not work...), and other inconvenience (an other button to resize). But, generally, it work good. 
It's distributed under the GPL3.




Test this, it's very good.

And if Red Hat disappears?

Since my entry in the Fedora project, I've a question: And if Red Hat disappears?

After some research, I found many things a little disturbing. The Fedora Project Leader is automatically hired by RH [1], we don't have a bugzilla.fedoraproject but a bugzilla.redhat, Fedora® and the Logo is a trademark of RedHat [2]...

I want to draw your attention on the fact that RH is a company, and RH is on the stock exchange. Imagine the filing for bankruptcy of RH. The Fedora Project will be very handicaped: no bugzilla, no trademark, many contributors go away... It's very dangerous.

Or worse, imagine RH become bad. If RH files for bankruptcy, we can recover the Fedora® trademark, the Bugzilla... But if RH became bad, it's very, very, very worse. Nevermore Fedora Trademarks, nevermore Logo, and all community of Fedora Project will be redesigned.
But, what to do?

It's good for the project that Fedora is a registered trademark ( otherwise, anyone can use the Fedora name , we have an example withe Linux [3]). But, for me, it's a mistake if it's registred by a company. I see more the Fedora Project Leader, or other important people of Fedora.

And we should have a bugzilla in our domain (bugzilla is an example it's the same for all resources)

It's very difficult to solve this, but we must do this, we must imagine the worst.
