What are our exact criteria for a distfile to be mirror restricted? |
| 2 |
Apart from redistribution being allowed, I've used the following |
| 3 |
criteria from the BINARY-REDISTRIBUTABLE license group as guidelines: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
- MUST NOT require explicit approval (No items from @EULA) |
| 6 |
- MUST NOT restrict the cost of redistribution |
| 7 |

The second one was recently criticised in #gentoo-proxy-maint, with |
| 9 |
respect to games-action/mutantstorm-demo. Its license says: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
"You are specifically prohibited from charging, or requesting |
| 12 |
donations, for any such copies, however made; and from distributing |
| 13 |
the software and/or documentation with other products (commercial |
| 14 |
or therwise) without prior written permission." |

|

Do we need mirror restriction for that one? |
