Description Alexei Podtelezhnikov 2002-08-24 15:28:48 EDT 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/7.0 (compatible)

Description of problem:
Mozilla used to rely on a sneaky link 
to /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/ligflashpayer.so
to get Macromedia Flash Player capability. Now, when Netscape is dropped, 
it's time for Red hat to step-up and start distributing
Flash Player for Linux from Macromedia yourselves.

After all Macromedia only asks for displaying their logo.
This is not a big deal in mozilla, is it? ... unless of course
Red Hat is committed to open source software only. 
No, you are not :), productivity CD is perfectly sutable to include 
mozilla-flash-5.0.r50-1.i386.rpm with that damn logo.

To make your inquieries easier, I give you a couple of links:
tar.gz is at 
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/flash/english/linux/5.0r50/flash_li
nux.tar.gz

Distribution license for logo is at:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/shockwave/info/licensing/


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Netscape is dropped
2. Mozilla is not able to use flash player plugin
3.

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2002-08-27 20:30:42 EDT 
The flash player is closed source; we're definitely moving towards all open
source in the base distribution.
Comment 2 Christopher Blizzard 2002-08-27 20:57:51 EDT 
Won't fix.
