[HEADSUP] 请大家去 Adobe 公司网站签名要求提供 FreeBSD native 版本的插件

[delphij]

大家好，

长期以来，由于 Adobe 公司 (收购前是 Macromedia) 并未提供 FreeBSD 版本的插件，FreeBSD 的开发人员开发了针对 Flash Player 的 wrapper， 使得这些插件能够在 FreeBSD 上不依赖 Linux 模拟环境的支持直接运行。 尽管这样做给使用者带来了一些不便，但还属于尚可接受的范围。

然而，近期 Adobe 公司在授权中加入了一项特别限制[1]， 这一限制使得我们不得不删去 www/linux-flashplugin* 这些 ports：
- 最终用户只允许在 Adobe 公司授权许可的操作系统上运行；
- Adobe 公司并未在其“许可列表”中列出 FreeBSD，以及其他 BSD 操作系统，包括但不必限于 NetBSD、 OpenBSD 和 DragonFlyBSD。

如果你希望 Adobe 公司提供 FreeBSD 版本的 Flash 插件，请帮助我们到下述网址填写要求 Adobe 公司提供授权的申请：

谢谢。

水平不行啊！全是英语的，免强能看几句。。。。。

如果大家觉得没法把自己的想法用英语表达出来，可以把中文版本贴在这里，我可以帮忙翻译成英语。

FreeBSD乃至*BSD都是目前世界上广受欢迎的操作系统，拥有相当份额的用户。一个致力于跨平台的Flash没有任何理由抛弃这样优秀的系统。

Freebsd and the other BSD based operating systems are very popular in the world, they have large number of users。Hence, there is no reason for a Flash pulgin that aimed to cross-platform to abandon such a outstanding operating system.

你看看合不合你的意思。如果大家觉得翻译的不好或有错误，可以提出来。我尽力改

[ldconfig]

We need a native runnable falsh player for FreeBSD, otherwise we hvae to give up all flash contents.

[likuku]

I need a native flash player,I need FreeBSD too!

[dengxf]

为什么要flash?
我一般把flash等等插件全部屏蔽了。
连java script我都屏蔽了。
文字图片就够了啊。其他的占资源啊。

[sim]

不喜欢flash。

建设节约型社会应该抵制flash这种东西。它造成cpu占用率高，同时导致风扇启动。
