I asked if they'd do a discount for an alternative Open Source licence, but they politely declined.

swfupload is workable, as is plain HTML -- so we will wait until someone wants to sponsor a plupload OEM license, or until ocProducts potentially makes another investment cycle.

I think there wasn't much need to have a Flash fallback for v10 anyway.

We could have gone with a simple HTML 5 solution as both XHR 2 and the File API are widely supported now except for IE 8 and 9 (about 6% marketshare combined) for which we can just show a plain ol' input[type=upload]. :)

PlUpload is very nice and can do other things:

Besides, we do need to support IE9 first-class for at least another few years.
