Fine, I think nobody wants you to commit acts that would be substantively piracy. I though the tar archives of dlls were redistributable but apparently I'm wrong. I agree with the earlier suggestion that package-level redirects would be a good solution for some of this sort of thing. So, for example, the Fedora yum repository could carry a redirect that would send queries for flash-plugin to the macromedia site. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S. Raymond</a>
