The software behind the service will always be published to the public (most likely under AGPLv3 or any later version), but the website will, most likely, be for-profit. It'll be commercial.

Yeah. We're going to use Python and Django to develop the software. The reason why we chose Python is that we already have experience in and because of the already-existing helping tools. Also, we're going to use ffmpeg to convert videos to Theora format.

Why not Flash?

Adobe Flash is a non-free standard. The most known and used implementation is Adobe's non-free Flash Player which is, unfortunately, used by many people even on the top of free systems like GNU/Linux. There is a free implementation called Gnash, but it doesn't implement the recent versions of Flash and that's why some popular Flash-based websites don't work well with it.

Flash isn't necessary for modern web designs. Free standard can be used to get great results without being locked-in because of some non-free one-vendor technologies.

Instead of using Flash videos, we encourage people to use HTML5 <video> tag with the free Theora video format.
