GNU gave me the following clarification about Flash programs:
As a clarification, for the purposes of Section 3, the Macromedia Flash program
is considered to be the 'compiler' for .swf files and the Macromedia Flash
Player is considered to be 'part of the operating system on which the
executable runs'.

POSTING GAME ON WEBSITES

The darts_osr.html file can be considered a template for creating
a web page that uses this game. The .fla file is the source file
for the game and is not needed in order to have the game on your site.
If you have enough space, I would recommend having the distribution
zip file on your site. If you do not post the distribution file, then
please provide a link to www.BlazingGames.com so visitors can get the 
distribution. 

PROGRAMMING NOTES

This is the flash version of the game. I am in the process of converting
the game over to Flex 2 as the Flex 2 SDK is freely available so would
make it easier for people without a budget to modify this game. Keep
an eye on the blazing games site for news about this (and if it is not 
yet finished when you read this you can go to the coming soon page to 
vote for it to speed up the development).
