Adobe's Plugin Not Authorized On Linux Pdas!
« on: June 27, 2006, 03:37:41 am »
Wow, I read the end user license agreement for the shockwave plugin that
I was installing on my (desktop) RH9 box, and was very surprised to see all
the efforf (and words) they put into excluding "embedded linux" and basically
anything other than Microsoft XP Tablet Edition - based PDAs from being
an "Authorized Operating System" as they put it.

They say they perform audits, and that you can end up reimbursing them some
unknown amount of money, etc..  Man...
