Some of it's in the "not policy" documents: |

Contributions welcomed if someone knows exactly what the rules are :) |

| RESTRICT=[no]mirror |

| 16 |
| - License issues? |

AFAIK it's now just licence issues. |

| 22 |
| RESTRICT=nomirror, having a GPL-2 license, and distributed via |
| 23 |
| sourceforge? Wouldn't RESTRICT=primaryuri be much better? Most fetches |
| 24 |

| mirrors. |

Now that primaryuri exists, yes. That's a fairly recent feature, |
| 28 |
however. |
