Although the license appears to be fine (MIT), I would recommend the Theme author either include the source for the SWF as Michael suggested; or include theme documentation (another strongly recommended item that is not apparent, i.e.: readme.txt) that covers the existence of the Flash function and where more information can be obtained from, for example the link noted as "JS that embeds it".<br>
<br>Otherwise I see it as being ok.<br><br><br clear="all">Cais.<br><br>PS: Don't forget to run "Theme-Check" and note all of the recommendations I expect it will be kicking out. EAC<br>

Just a SWF, no FLA. There is no reference to any restrictions, nor a license. The <a href="http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/" target="_blank">JS that embeds it</a> is properly credited and licensed.<div><div></div><div class="h5">

<div>> I'm reviewing a theme that includes a Flash audio player - is there anything, um, wrong with that? I guess it looks odd to me to see a proprietary blob in a theme...<br>
<br>
</div>This is a great question!<br>
<br>
Does the theme include an SWF file or reference on via HTTP?<br>
<br>
If it includes the SWF, I would thing that the theme should be required to provide the FLA as well.<br>
<br>
I do not see anything wrong with the inclusion of such a file in a theme so long as end users are not restricted.<br>
<br>
The only two area which I feel they could be restricted are:<br>
<br>
1. Incompatible License<br>
2. Lack of source files (FLA).<br>
<br>
I just wanted to share my opinions on this topic.<br>
<br>
Would really love to hear how others feel about situations like these.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
