That's nice, and of course such an EULA exist, and that you need to
have attended law-school to make any sense of it is well known by the
average person, so NO normal person reads it, they just click on the
"yes I agree" button to make "the problem go away". We all know that,
in fact, you have to agree to an EULA to install and use the player.
But that fact isn't the problem at all. the problem is that a normal
user expects that he can get YouTube to work without wringing himself
to all kinds of technical hoops. YouTube (the flash player) should
"just work", even if he has to agree to a Eula before it works. If
that is not the case its just "an epic fail", in most users eyes.

It's not a problem for -me-, I'm not complaining because its an
insurmountable problem for -me-, but it will be for most first Linux
users who are hoping to escape from Windows.

Its also such a letdown, because after the fiasco with the press
lamenting gOS for just this same problem, I supposed that Good OS had
learned from their mistake, because -all- (publicly available) later
versions of gOS had Flash pre-installed. If there are legal problems
with pre-installing flash, then just make it so that gOS automatically
installs it, including conforming the EULA. You would think that the
YouTube launcher on the Wbar would be an ideal launch-board for such
an installer.
