ports/96374: [Maintainer update] www/linux-flashplugin7 - to be restored from attic

[Jamie Jones]

Emmy Huang, the project manager for Flash Player at adobe has issued the
following update on the license issue. No longer do we require the "special
permission" to run flash-player on FreeBSD, as the EULA has been altered
to remove the 'authorized OS" requirement:

"FreeBSD users, this one's for you: We have updated the EULA for this
 release. The first key change is that it is a combined "player" EULA,
 so it also refers to terms related to Adobe Reader. Second change -
 and one that I hope will be welcomed by many of you - is that we did
 away with the concept of "authorized OS" ...but this means you should
 review the Restrictions listed in Section 3a. These changes mean that
 IF you as an end-user want to install on a platform that we don't
 officially support in the system requirements AND you can get it to
 work AND you understand that we won't provide technical support for
 your efforts -- you can freely install the player without being in
 violation of the EULA. This does not impact the free distribution
 license, which still lists "authorized OS".
