Bart, You're probably going to be SOL on this one. Under Section (3) of their license, it clearly states:
"You may not make or distribute copies of the Macromedia Product, or electronically transfer the Macromedia Product from one computer to another or over a network." That, to me, sounds like redistribution is very NOT allowed. They do let people sign licenses as distributors [1], however, AFAIK, Debian doesn't do that sort of thing, so Macromedia players will never be able to go into Debian, not even in non-free. ...
