I have read flash plugin license and it allows you to distribute the
binaries on a CD.
However, it prohibits you from keeping it available online.

I haven't found what kind of restrictions are there in distributing
bad and ugly gstreamer plugins.
Ubuntu website just gives the following warning.
"In some countries, the use of certain codecs may be prohibited by
law. You should verify that you are permitted to use them before
installing them."

Do you know what kind of restrictions are there on distributing these packages?
