I was thinking the same. Their excuse was a big fat cop-out. <div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 3, 2008 11:57 AM, William Grant <<a href="mailto:william@qeuni.net">william@qeuni.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="Ih2E3d">David Whyte wrote: > FYI below is Bigpond's response to not having a mirror of the > multiverse packages. > > Regards, > Whytey > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: David Harrison <<a href="mailto:bpfsupport@mammothmedia.com.au">bpfsupport@mammothmedia.com.au</a>> > Date: Jan 3, 2008 9:44 AM > Subject: [Ticket #63088] BigPond Download Problem > To: <a href="mailto:David.Whyte@gmail.com">David.Whyte@gmail.com</a> > > > Hi, > > No, this is currently intentional, due to disk space and legal concerns. > We're still evaluating multiverse but currently have no plans to include > it. </div>> [snip] Legal concerns? We don't accept non-redistributable content into multiverse. There are some things that might not be able to be sold, but as long as you're not selling it there are no legal issues with mirroring it. We have hundreds of mirrors - they don't have issues with it. Multiverse also isn't particularly large - less than 10% of the i386 archive size, and many of those packages are only i386 or architecture: all, so it will be an even smaller percentage of the full archive. -- William Grant Ubuntu Developer -- ubuntu-au mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com"> ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au</a> </blockquote></div> -- When one burns ones bridges, what a very nice fire it makes. ¥ ¨ ¡¥¨ ¥¸¨¡¡¥¨ ¡¡¥¨±¨¡¥¨ ¡ ¡± ¥¨¥¨ ¡ ±µ±® ±µ¡¡¡¥µ±® ¡ ¡¡ «®¡ ¡ ¡¡« ¡¡«®¡«®« ¡ « ®
