GNU maintainers: In January 2010, Sourceforge began blocking connections from certain countries, on which the US has imposed sanctions. This caused distress for free software users in those countries. Other commercial distribution sites for free software have done likewise.
Those countries' governments do in many cases mistreat their citizens' freedom, but denying them other freedoms as well is an absurd response. We have been assured that US law does not require blocking connections from anywhere. So we ask all GNU package maintainers to use a primary release site that allows connections from anywhere. If the current primary release site blocks part of the Internet, please move to a different primary release site. ftp.gnu.org is available. It is fine to offer additional release sites, regardless of what access limitations they have. Easier access for some is better, even if it does not help all. The crucial point is not to exclude part of the Internet from the main advertised access point. Thanks for your cooperation. -- http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-prog _______________________________________________ Help-glpk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-glpk
