 According to the EULA:

 - The Authorized Operating System is explicitly defined in the EULA.
   FreeBSD is not included.

Oh? How do they define "Linux"? Depending on how lazy the definition is, FreeBSD *is* Linux.

- Copying the software from one computer to another is also forbidden.

 - Downloading the software from the distribution site means you are
   confirming your acceptance of the software and agreement to become
   bound by the terms of the EULA.

Exactly, it's why I am suggesting to have users to go to macromedia.com to download and put in their distfiles directory.

At which point we are providing *mechanism*, not *policy*.

Let's not over-lawyer this too much, please.
