I took the liberty of quickly reading through the EULA of Adobe Flash Player. This is fairly straight forward: [Quote] 2.5 No Modification. 2.5.1 You may not modify, adapt, translate or create derivative works based upon the Software. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Software except to the extent you may be expressly permitted to decompile under applicable law, it is essential to do so in order to achieve operability of the Software with another software program, and you have first requested Adobe to provide the information necessary to achieve such operability and Adobe has not made such information available. Adobe has the right to impose reasonable conditions and to request a reasonable fee before providing such information. Any such information supplied by Adobe and any information obtained by you by such permitted decompilation may only be used by you for the purpose described herein and may not be disclosed to any third party or used to create any software which is substantially similar to the expression of the Software. Requests for information should be directed to the Adobe Customer Support Department. [End Quote] You can find the source of this at http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/players/flash/ Under section 2.5 No Modification. In short this means you cannot redistribute your modified versions of this software in a legal way unless you have their approval. Roman Kyrylych wrote:

Is it legal, to crack Adobe Flash 9 and build a DRM free Flashplugin package? Then keep this package in AUR for those people how don't like DRM?
In short - it is illegal.
