JFTR, /installer and /demos webapps are for demonstration purpose only and 
should never be installed on a public red5 server (no security at all in those 
applications)

Furthermore, they contains many non-free stuffs :
- binary-only *.swf (Flash Player) files (no source provided in tarball and no 
free compiler exist for Flex sources files - .as and .mxml)
- movies trailers like Avatar / Toy Story 3

I understand your point and I'll work on providing some documentation on that 
stuffs.
