According to the EULA:
- The Authorized Operating System is explicitly defined in the EULA.
FreeBSD is not included.
- Copying the software from one computer to another is also forbidden.
- Downloading the software from the distribution site means you are
confirming your acceptance of the software and agreement to become
bound by the terms of the EULA.
Exactly, it's why I am suggesting to have users to go to macromedia.com to
download and put in their distfiles directory.
So, strictly speaking downloading the distfile onto a FreeBSD box
does not mean a license violation immediately, but I think it
does not make sense.
Also, I am not clear why the user can decide if his operating system
is the authorized one or not. Could you please explain why it works?
I am using FreeBSD ports tree on Linux.
Cheers,
Mezz
