For the record, a non-free flash plugin I had lying around registers the following:

Name: Shockwave Flash
Description: Shockwave Flash 7.0 r63
Mimetype: application/x-shockwave-flash
Mimetype description: Shockwave Flash

Using the Gnash alpha and Firefox, the Flash detection used by http://www.burton.com (specifically here: http://www.burton.com/sh/default.asp) does not detect Gnash although it is present.

The problem is both the name and description reported by the plugin. The detection script (here: http://www.burton.com//include/js/global/global.js) looks for a plugin called "Shockwave Flash" but Gnash uses "Shockwave Flash 8.0". It then looks at the description to determine the major version by returning the character before the first '.' in the description string.

So, by modifying the name and description in plugin.cpp and rebuilding, the site was able to detect the plugin.

See attached patch for details.
