I've checked the web page for information on mirroring FreeBSD
distributions and such and havent found anything. Now I know that its free
software and there are no legalities involved as long as I dont go around
renaming everything to credit me and make mucho bunzunkos out of it ;)
Anyway The mirroring I wish to do is to my local ISP for our local users
to download FreeBSD. I _dont_ want to be placed on the list of official
mirrors. This mirror site will be in 'Kuwait' yes out of all places. But
unfortuanetly our net-link is limited here and users can't just ftp
FreeBSD from the US without waiting a few days (I got the cigarette butts
to prove it). I do have access to a superfast link which will allow me to
do this, and space on the ISP's anon ftp server.
So I'm basically asking, can I just setup fetch scripts to start mirroring
software and basically not get any official 'ok', or do I need to go
through some 'official channels' to mirror the software?
The sooner the answer the sooner the budding Unix hackers here will get
off my back :)
