FreeBSD users, this one's for you: We have updated the EULA
[http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/players/flash/] for this release.
The first key change is that it is a combined "player" EULA, so it
also refers to terms related to Adobe Reader. Second change - and one
that I hope will be welcomed by many of you - is that we did away with
the concept of "authorized OS" ...but this means you should review the
Restrictions listed in Section 3a. These changes mean that IF you as
an end-user want to install on a platform that we don't officially
support in the system requirements AND you can get it to work AND you
understand that we won't provide technical support for your efforts --
you can freely install the player without being in violation of the
EULA. This does not impact the free distribution license, which still
lists "authorized OS".

Q. Wasn't there supposed to be a simultaneous release of the Linux
version of Flash Player 9?
A. Not exactly. We never said it would sim ship. We did say that we
were skipping the v8 port to get a start on porting v9 (formerly known
as v8.5). We are working on it, and expect to release in early 2007.
Which means a beta should be here very soon. For progress and updates,
check Mike's Penguin.SWF blog.

Q. Seriously, when will we see the Linux public beta?
A. We're close. See previous question on the topic.
