debian cd-image mirrors and US export restrictions
Hi
for several weeks now I am dealing with the different methods of downloading
the official cd images of the debian distribution. The hundred of mirrors
containing the debian packages are clearly separated into those, which are
located in the US, and those, which are not, because of the non-us tree, they
are containing packages from.
In contrast to the package servers, the debian cd image mirrors are not
separated according to this circumstances. Also the ones located in the US
are containing the non-us variant of the first iso image. I dont understand
why the US exports regulations seems to have no influence on the distributing
of the cd images, which contain US sensitive software packages.
If anyone has an idea on this topic, I would be gratefull for any remark.
Regards,
Harald Katzer
