+HAL is a hardware abstraction layer that is no longer used on modern
+Linux systems - with the advent of tools such as UDev and UDisks the
+same and improved functionality is provided by other means.
+The flash plugin currently requires libhal for playback of DRM
+content. This library provides a compatibility layer and minimal
+libhal implementation for that purpose. This library does NOT
+provide a full HAL interface or daemon.
