Comment The real reason Macromedia behind it... (Score 1) 574
Macromedia has made some errors in writing thier EULA, however it seems pretty obvious why they're specifying so clearly what CAN install the player.
They make bucket loads on selling the player onto solid state chips inside OTHER devices.
I was recently at a MMUG meeting in London and the speaker mentioned Macromedia closing deals with 3 of the 4 top mobile phone manufacturers.
Can you image the figures Macromedia can expect to pull in by licencing a solid state version of it's plugin?
They're not just interested in mobile phones, what do you think your touch screen operated refridgerator/washer-dryer/Tivo/XBox360/PS3's interface is going to run on? Windows? Bah!
Not if Macromedia can help it.
Yes, I'm Anti-Microsoft, but then again, I am, Anti-Everything.
