Macromedia don't entirely understand their own licensing either.  After a bit
of tit for tat, they've said that I need to sign up to their Intranet
Distribution License, which amusingly enough... "The free Macromedia Flash and
Shockwave Players Distribution Program is designed for ISPs, enterprises, and
software developers solely for the Windows PC (including Windows 95, 98, 2000,
NT, ME and XP) and Macintosh desktop operating systems."

So it looks like I'm without a license to install it on our linux boxes.
