This is more like the wrapper script for the Adobe Flash plugin, which downloaded and installed the binary plugin from adobe.If the only purpose of this software is the installation of non free drivers I think it should be removed because if we leave it in place people could think we are approving the installation of non free stuff.AFIK he is busy with exams at this time.
