You are probably right. I filed the feature request, because I was advised by the customer support to do so. They thought that it would be beter to try to get a native FreeBSD version, than go the license change request route. But probably a special license is an even better solution. Anyway, I'd say it good to fellow all paths that might get us Flash on FreeBSD, that is both try to license Flash for FreeBSD, try to get them to make a native version, and develope an open source implementation. > This would probably get to > someone in their legal department who could decide if a change in the > EULA is easier that a special FreeBSD license (which would have to get > distributed with the port or package.)

The FreeBSD Foundation, I would say. Svein Halvor
