We can consider that then. But since we aren't selling the constrained
software for a profit, I see no problem.

</I>
Note that I said "several", and not "many".
The dictionary definition of several is "more than 2 but not many".
Sorry I miscounted. I thought I saw 3.
And you're right. The one I didn't visit is no longer active.

</I>
2 of 25 PLF mirrors in the U.S.
16 of 133 Mandriva mirrors in the U.S.
About the same ratio.
A lot fewer PLF mirrors, but since most packages in PLF seem to be in
Mandriva main, I suspect it is more by lack of interest.
Also, there are only about 400 packages for i586 in PLF mirrors.
Since most are duplicated, I wonder how many distinct packages there are ?
Somehow doubt that an unlicenced copy of quotes from the Simpsons (one
of the 2 plf packages that I didn't find also in Mandriva main) is going
to be a big attraction.
