This is still unrelated to the point whether Fedora is a Free distro or not
(it is not due to Linux firmwares - this part is known). So why isn't Flash
+ acroread etc. also installed by default or be available in repositories?

I still do not see the difference between Adobe software and Mozilla plugins.
Or as a follow-up to Matej Cepl - do the U.S. laws apply to Mozilla and not to
Adobe?


Thanks,
