bzip and rsaref cannot be used in the US for patent reasons. That's
totally different from the others which can be used in the US, just not
exported from there.
A US mirror might allow US citizens and not non-US people to download the
export restricted programs, and allow the complement of those to download
the patented programs.
Is there a particular reason why they should be grouped together?
