my opinion (as a mirror, FWIW) is it is not the debian project's problem or responsibility if US sites decide to offer non-US software and/or contravene any export regulations. as long as the debian project (and it's mirroring system) has setup a system to follow appropriate (reasonable?) regulations and made that available - which it clearly has with the existence of non-US - it is upto end sites to follow that. i don't think the debian project is responsible for porn that might be found on a mirror site that it is linking to either, as long as it didn't put it there in the first place. regards, -jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
