Quoth the Policy, section 2.3:

We reserve the right to restrict files from being included anywhere in
our archives if
  * their use or distribution would break a law,
  * there is an ethical conflict in their distribution or use,
  * we would have to sign a license for them, or
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
