Macromedia

I know this has been an exhaustive topic as of late, but it
needs to
be addressed. Flash should be supported in some fashion on
FreeBSD and
now we can't even run the Linux plugin (not that it worked
without
crashing Firefox constantly anyway). Their license is
unacceptable and
we need to speak up. Maybe we could file a class action suit
against
the monopoly they are creating here. I only run FreeBSD on
my desktop
and they are trying to force me to run something else, which
I find
appalling. So if you feel the same way, do what I did and
start
contacting them through their website in a polite, but
direct request
for support:

It would be nice to have a native plugin. I personally do
not install 
the Linux Compat, and don't really plan on ever doing so.
If an application does not provide a FreeBSD port I just
don't use it. 
So I too requested that they consider creating a FreeBSD
port. Hopefully 
we get enough users to bug them and they will comply. =)

I am not sure if this link to there wish list has been
passed around yet 
so here it is again just in case. This link was sent to me
by a rep at 
macromedia telling me that request on their wish list guides
there 
development. So I guess we should all put on this wishlist
for a FBSD 
native player.

If everyone is aware of this link already then simply ignore
my email
