I believe what the author intended to say is that why should the Flash plugin only be installed when using Netscape as opposed to when you only decide ot install Mozilla. As far as the StarOffice/OpenOffice.org installations go, I agree that only one really need be installed. I would opt for StarOffice by default and for the download MDK obviously not containing StarOffice to default to OpenOffice.org when StarOffice is not found. So in essence, it is not whether or not a package is free or distributed as such but really attention to detail that is being addressed.
