And for all you nay-sayers out there, you have the choice to NOT use it. There is little point in bitching about Macromedia's efforts if all you can do is bitch. Please offer helpful and constructive opinions if you have to say anything at all.
Ok.
Dear Macromedia,
Why are you attempting to make Flash player as difficult to use in Linux as you possibly can make it, short of refusing to release a Flash player at all?
Surely by this point you should know that slipping in a "we reserve the right to audit your installations of our software" is not going to sit well with people who Free Source fans?
Actually, I find the latter to be HIGHLY OFFENSIVE. You don't trust me? ok, that's your choice. I choose not to use your software. I have to consider the possiblity this EULA will require me to remove Flash player from the computers I admin at work.
And don't read that as a threat, it isn't. I want to keep my installations legal. If the EULA forbids me, then I can't do it. I have no power to change that, only abide by it.
