Comment:

 Thank you for taking the time to look over the build instructions.

 As for the dependencies of flash proxy, I have tried to document their
 licenses in
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/flashproxy.git/blob/HEAD:/LICENSE,
 which gets copied into the bundles. I'm not an expert but I have tried my
 best to make sure we are in compliance with the license. If any
 dependencies are missing, it's a mistake I will fix.

 As for the dependencies of obfsproxy, I don't know that their licenses are
 being copied. Apart from those shared with flash proxy, I think they are
  * pycrypto
  * twisted
  * zope
  * argparse
  * pyptlib

 Basically the same dependencies are included on all platforms, except for
 Mac, which I think excludes twisted and zope because they are installed on
 the system by default. The difference is that on Windows and Mac, we build
 or install those dependencies manually because we can't easily apt-get
 them. In the case of Windows, the copying of the libraries is done
 implicitly by py2exe.
