Distribute Adobe Flash Player

[Saïvann]

Adobe seems to have released a new distributing license which may give
us the opportunity to distribute Adobe Flash Player via multiverse
repositories, instead of downloading from Adobe website each time and
get md5sums mismatches each time a new release is out.

2.2 Distribution. Subject to the restrictions and requirements set forth
below, Licensee may .....
....(c) if the Software is a Web Player, distribute the Software through
the Internet to end users, solely as part of or with Licensee Product
(such as bundled in Licensee’s installer, which in turn, is downloaded
through the Internet)....

Can anyone look at the details of the license and confirm if this is
possible?

Does multiverse require the source?

No. The only absolute requirement is that the license needs to permit
free (as in beer, and as in "without limits") redistribution.

Of course packages in multiverse should also be reasonably compliant
to Debian Policy, FSH, and general common-sense security aspects
(no world-writable files, careful setuid, etc.)
