Seems sensible to ask the mirror owners. It is possible some of them have not
been aware of the problem at all, so I think we should make sure they
understand that Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, etc. also contain patented technologies
(to avoid the situation where they are willing to mirror Ubuntu/Debian/Arch
but not allow patented software in Mageia, just because the other
distributions didn't notify them of the issue; if they don't want to mirror
Mageia if it contained patent-encumbered software, they really shouldn't be
mirroring those other distributions either).
