A week or so ago I wrote about the Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Flash Player for Linux being removed from the FreeBSD Ports tree due to licensing issues. FreeBSD was not a supported OS and therefore was not mentioned on the EULA for the Flash Player as an authorized operating system. On April 24th and e-mail (PR) was received from Adobe that basically said “FreeBSD is not supported, run it if you want.” The www/linux-flashplugin7 port was thankfully added back to the FreeBSD Ports tree.

I will post a How-To on how to get this working on FreeBSD soon.
