Hi Matt,

I created a FAS account some time ago.  I did not proceed with adding my
site because this requires that you agree with the "Export Restrictions".

I don't see many sites added.  Probabaly because most people realize
that it comes down to this:

      -------------------------------------------------------------
      If you agree with these Export Restrictions you will violate
      these rules anytime somone who isn't liked by the US downloads
      any piece of Fedora from your mirror.
      -------------------------------------------------------------

Run a mirror, help Red Hat, and get arrested next time you visit the USA ..

Besides any political or moral right/wrongness of these Export
Restrictions it is of course TECHNICALLY COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE
to comply with them !!!

The whole mirrormanager thing will (unfortunatly !) never work
as long as agreeing to these Export Restrictions is required.

Mirror-admins: be very carful with what you sign or agree to !
