Problems with Adobe Flash on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx

Proprietary Software Traps - Adobe Flash
,----[ Quote ]
| I've been working on a project for work
| involving the re-use of older (6-8 years
| old) PCs and laptops using Ubuntu 10.04
| LTS, with the goal of distributing them to
| some of our tech-impoverished Georgia
| libraries (nothing's firm yet - still in
| the exploratory phase). These were state
| library staff members' computers from
| maybe 2 generations ago and if they are
| not re-used, they'll be surplused or
| discarded. As I was installing and
| configuring Ubuntu, it occurred to me that
| since we would be redistributing whatever
| software we install, we are constrained
| about what we can include when they are
| sent out. Ubuntu, as-is, is all free
| software and all included packages can be
| redistributed freely. However, installing
| Adobe Flash, Sun (or Oracle) Java, or many
| proprietary A/V codecs or device drivers,
| makes it illegal to redistribute.
