When the primary mission - educating the world's least served children - comes into conflict with Software Freedom, which one wins? How do you explain that to the deployments? Anyway, this is such a gray area to be taking a stand in. We are just talking about shipping and supporting a 200 line Gnash-based-activity launcher script, which can also launch Adobe if it happens to be installed. -Wade _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
