>Description:
port www/linux-flashplugin7 was deleted to the attic, due to a licensing
issue that has now been resolved. Therefore the port can be restored.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:

Please could port www/linux-flashplugin7 be brought back from the 'attic',
where it was deleted due to a licensing issue.. This has now been resolved,
thanks to Chad Gross.

The port details are unchanged from the attic'ed copy, however could you add
something like this to the pkg-descr to ensure we keep track of the
permission we've been granted:

FreeBSD Flash License Agreement: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/ID-OF-THIS-PR

(Kris has agreed that this email is suitable authorisation for this to happen)

Cheers,
Jamie (maintainer, www/linux-flashplugin7)
