Gnash is making some headway. It needs more support and testing,
however. Having more collections of media that are explicitly prepped
to work with Gnash players will make a tremendous difference to its
small core team, who aren't all that visible in the broader FOSS
community.

To illustrate this with an example, maybe not the
best but one that
comes up often enough, consider video file formats. (Some of this is
beyond my technical expertise, so please forgive any misstatements.)
Adobe Flash has widespread adoption to the point of being
near-universal. The company has also been moving to make it more open
for people watching, distributing, and working on content in this
environment. It's close to free, but I understand there are still some
issues like patent "encumbrances" around Flash. Meanwhile, there are
pure free software formats that do similar things but have pretty
limited adoption.
