That's why I was asking: I don't know what plugins are, and the
implications of using them. And more importantly, why they are only
available on a non-free system.

I assume they are web plugins, such as Lightspark or Gnash.

No, AFAIU. The other problem is that these plug-ins are not available
on free systems, and I want to find out why.

I can't think of one, but it would certainly be possible.
