Yes, common frameworks should be in /Library/Frameworks or
~/Library/Frameworks. It's best to use a proper installer (which
handles authenticating the user, installing to various target folders,
running pre- and post-flight scripts, etc. which can be important for
detecting version conflicts, quitting dependent apps if they're
running, and other such issues). The drag-to-install approach in an
application that needs write access to folders requiring admin rights
is not the best approach, IMO.
