Java should be OK. The version that Fedora ships is based on the open
GPL version that is called IcedTea and is fully certified by the Java
group. We'll know more in the next month or so.

Flash might be a little more difficult as the version on the n900
wasn't generally downloadable. gnash and/or lightspark should work
though.
