Except that it's very US-centric. There's nothing rebellious going on when I upload ssh (from the UK), for instance. How about: free-world if you want to make a political point. So that you would say: I'm afraid you'll need to get ssh from one of our free-world mirrors, because local laws prohibit USA based servers from carrying it. I actually think this is the wrong way round. We should really arrange things so that the complete system is available on a server somewhere, and then servers in countries that have onerous restrictions should just avoid mirroring the bits they are not allowed to carry. Unfortunately, master is currently located in one of those regimes, which makes things a bit difficult. Cheers, Phil.
