From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Until Adobe patch's the installer and licencing server to prevent it from working at all. (Too cynical?)
Who need licensing for Adobe products?
They would be spending money on losing money at this point. There is literally zero benefit for them at n doing that and this point.
The floodgates are now officially open.
My thoughts as well. At least we can be cynical together.
My name is notthatyougiveafuck, and I approve this message. Also, fuck Adobe.
