I'm well aware of that, since PLF wouldn't have existed otherwise. The
question concerned mirroring nonfree, not tainted. The reasons for not
mirroring each of these is quite different.

Sorry, I don't buy that. If a packager omits a tag or chooses a wrong
repository, the reason is probably the same - he didn't read the license
and that means the package is going to be misfiled under either scheme.
And the only way a FOSS activist is going to catch this is to read the
license himself if he has any doubts.
