Debian non-US packages
Hi,
I have some questions according to the servers and mirrors, from which one
can download the packages and the cd-images of the non-US category.
On http://www.debian.de/CD/http-ftp/
and http://www.debian.de/CD/jigdo-cd/
download servers are mentioned, which seem to be based in the United States,
e.g.:
http://us.cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/current/jigdo/
From most of these links one can download the woody-arch-1_NONUS images of
the stable Debian distribution. Isn't this already an violation of valid US
law?
I am not a lawyer, I am just confused why there is an effort to distinguish
between non-US and non-non-US packages, when you are still able to fetch
non-US images from an US based server or mirror, in case, that my conclusions
are correct.
By the way,
http://cdimage.debian.org/cd-images/,
mentioned to be the master site of Debian cd-images in the cd-image faq on
http://www.debian.de/CD/faq/
is still outdated, while it does not contain the current stable release.
I am gratefull for any remark.
Regards,
Harald Katzer
