I already knew that. When I emailed them about this, I was first told that FreeBSD was not tested and therefor not supported. But when I clarified my question, stating that the issue is a legal one, not a technical one, they told me thet the EULA must be respected. (What else could they have said?). They were understanding, though, and asked me to file a feature request for the Flash team, to support FreeBSD, which I did. Svein Halvor
