The other really evil thing about the Adobe Flash EULA is that if an American agrees to it, they agree not to work on Gnash or similar.

The language is something of the "can't write a > flash player if you agree to this" variety. It's 2.5.1, the clause about reverse engineering. "[Information] may not be disclosed to any third party or used to create any software which is substantially similar to the expression of the Software." Do you know what happens when somebody installs the flash player and then uninstalls it? Is that person still unable to contribute to Gnash then? -- Sylvain -- Regards, Dave - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
