No it's not a trivial amount, but it's also important that we comply |
| 17 |
with the licenses of the software that we distribute. I think that |
| 18 |
storing a gig or two extra on the mirrors (or more on the mirrors that |
| 19 |
archive /historical) is fairly trivial compared to violating the GPL. |

If we violate the GPL in this case, we really won't be able to enforce |
| 22 |
it in the future if someone were to violate it in the case of our stuff. |
