thanks


    webservice/amf/testclient/AMFTester.swf

is present since at least Moodle 2.0:

http://git.moodle.org/gw?p=moodle.git;a=tree;f=webservice/amf/testclient;h=de1e4b15a9b5d4222e01327c54e8658450382f0f;hb=64063ad95adb0442dd25cbb593afa0884c33b71c

Build instructions and source is in the same directory, but you
need Adobe Flex to compile it. Seems like a false positive.


    lib/flowplayer/*

Has been there since 2.0.3:
http://git.moodle.org/gw?p=moodle.git;a=tree;f=lib/flowplayer;h=61724063575df2ceccc25c51795ac703e195f12b;hb=06ede85e1f2286de63a462aa89a27830d4c1b1c0

This is somewhat problematic. Source is available under GPL3 from here:
http://flash.flowplayer.org/download/

Since neither the deb nor moodle upstream currently includes source,
there is a GPL compliance issue.

My immediate recommendation is to elide it, similar to the treatment
flvplayer has gotten before. The GPL issue needs to be reported to
upstream.

A longterm project would be to work with upstream toward using
flowplayer's HTML5 version (with source, of course).

(Before doing that, it would be interesting to ponder whether Flowplayer
Ltd.'s usage of GPL3 clause 5d is conformant with Debian's view. See
http://flowplayer.org/license/free-license-faq.html for details.)
