GPL'd Flash Library

[Tim Schmidt]

Thanks John for referencing the philosophy page...  Hmmm...  as for
the rest of you, you're using a pre-release of Firefox aren't you?
You used Mozilla before it went 1.0 didn't you?  How the hell can you
claim you're not beta testers?  This is the free / open-source
software community right?  where everyone can contribute?

And yes, firefox installs with a few clicks, but only for one user.  I
don't want 30 installs of flash on my computer at home, one for each
user.
