Technically, 1, since the other is down ( and should be removed from
the list ).
So a ratio of 4%.
><i> 16 of 133 Mandriva mirrors in the U.S.
</I>
A ratio of 12%.
Same as debian, based 49 mirrors in the US out of 358.
( ie 13% ), based on <A HREF="http://www.debian.org/mirror/list">http://www.debian.org/mirror/list</A>
Ubuntu has 12 out of 62 for isos, ie 16%.
<A HREF="http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors">http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors</A>
And for packages, that 51 out of 367, ie 13%
<A HREF="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors">https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors</A>
Opensuse has 22 out of 155, aka 14%.
( <A HREF="http://mirrors.opensuse.org/">http://mirrors.opensuse.org/</A> ).
Fedora has 59 us mirrors out of 259, ie 22%.
( <A HREF="http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/">http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/</A> ).
So basically, between Fedora, with a strict policy, and PLF, the
difference is 18%.
And I didn't count other country such as Japan, where patents on software
are permitted ( <A HREF="http://en.swpat.org/wiki/Japan">http://en.swpat.org/wiki/Japan</A> ), and where the count of PLF
mirrors vs Fedora mirrors is 0 to 8.
More ever, the fact that this is hosted by some private and rather anonymous
company is also a important point. Ie, no .edu or big telco ever contacted
PLF to host a mirror, while in France and another country, PLF have both.

You should look a little bit more closely. For example, libdvdcss2 is plf only.
So does various emulator, lame ( and related like darkice ), gstreamer-bad,
etc. There is amule, and similar software. More than 2.
I am sure that using a small shell script, the exact number could be found, if
someone want to invest the time.
