I am not too worried... It was a Linux package anyway so let them sho(/% it up their 098p709sses.

I hear Gnash http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ is evolving pretty rapidly.

That effects a CRAP LOAD of stuff......

Oh well the worst we could ever hope for is to sue for discrimination, since it's their thing to lisence.

Gnash sounds good, let's hope it comes out clean and wonderful soon.

I suppose that they do not allow it to run on LINUX ether?? As running a Linux Flash under the compat layer shouldn't be a problem any more then using WINE for a Windows version...

PS: Does any one using MAC OS X even have flash? lol

EDIT: NVM

For which platforms can I redistribute Macromedia Flash Player and Macromedia Shockwave Player for?
Both Macromedia web players may only be redistributed for the Microsoft Windows PC (including Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT, ME, and XP) and Apple Macintosh desktop operating systems.

While Shockware/Authorware only are Windows/Mac OS. And I can't find any other mention of Linux on that page in a short sweep.

So if they have some Linux support why the hell can we not run it under linux emulation !? Or are the revoking Mozzila Linux support as well..

do gnash the job with reverse engineering?
