Macromedia Flash player distribution

[Vidar Bakke <vb@skolelinux.no>]

Hi
From the to-do list in:
  
http://developer.skolelinux.no/dokumentasjon/debian- 
edu_sarge_installation.txt
"Read the fine print of license for Macromedia Flash to check if we are  
allowed to include flashplayer out of the CD"

The answer is yes according to the information posted on
macromedia.com [1] [2]. Please note that I did *not* read the
license since Macromedia "...In order to apply for the license,
you must have a Macromedia membership"

But we can't make it available as a download

Comments anyone?

Can I license the Macromedia Players for distribution on CD-ROM or for  
my company or educational institution intranet?

    Yes. If you've created CD-ROM or intranet content that depends on a  
Macromedia Player, you can distribute the Players via CD or intranet so  
your users won't have to download them from the Internet. View  
licensing options for more information.


Can I make the Macromedia Players available directly from my website?

    No. The Macromedia free Player distribution agreement does not  
allow you to distribute the Players from your website. You must direct  
visitors to the Macromedia Web Players area of our Downloads site. To  
easily link to our website, we provide Macromedia web Player buttons  
that you can display on your site. You can download the buttons and  
view the guidelines here:
