Description Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2010-06-13 19:24:06 UTC
The license from adobe-flash 10.0 no longer applies to 10.1. In particular, the Content Protection clause is new.

I propose to add this to the EULA license group.

What about this new license would make it part of the EULA group?

(I'm sorry that don't have time to read it right now... do you mind giving me an executive summary?)
Comment 3 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2010-06-14 16:48:56 UTC
It calls itself a "License Agreement" and it says in section 1.2 BINDING AGREEMENT that the user must accept the agreement in order to use this software.

This might apply to the older AdobeFlash-10 license too.
Comment 4 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-06-16 12:10:28 UTC
Okay, added the new AdobeFlash-10.1 license, and put both this and the previous AdobeFlash-10 license into the EULA group.
