You accept the agreement at the time that you install the software if it's free, or pay for it if it isn't. If you don't like the agreement, you don't buy or install the software.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This is the Adobe Reader end user agreement:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><A href="http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/acrreula.html">http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/acrreula.html</A></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Sections 3 and 5 are why they would't just issue a GPL. Some of section 2 as well. That doesn't mean that they want to charge for it, or that they have any
problem with Linux distros including it as part of their distro.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This is why you get yourself a license. It is not illegal for Ubuntu to enter into an agreement with them. Ubuntu also won't have to pay anything, because Adobe wants reader in your system, whether you use Windows or Linux. They don't care.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><A href="http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/distribute.html">http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/distribute.html</A></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>please note that if you are just going to do a referal to their site, you don't even need a license. (Like the next paragraph)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This is where you download the Linux edition of Reader. If you are going online with Linux, chances are their web site can tell and it will direct you right to the Linux download. If you are going online with Windows, be carefull that you don't download
the Windows edition by mistake.<BR><BR><B><I>Matthew Flaschen <matthew.flaschen@gatech.edu></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Mark Wallace wrote:<BR>> I'm using legal terms.
