Hi,
We currently have @BINARY-REDISTRIBUTABLE license group that somewhat
concerns RESTRICT=bindist. I think it'd be reasonable to introduce
a matching group concerning RESTRICT=mirror.
My proposition would be to add @DISTFILE-REDISTRIBUTABLE group with
the following rules:
- MUST permit redistribution of unmodified distfiles
- MUST NOT require explicit approval (No items from @EULA)
- MAY prohibit redistributing modified distfiles
- MAY restrict the cost of redistribution
Rationale: the main idea is to aid checking for missing
RESTRICT="mirror". The rules are based on current bindist group but are
more relaxed given the specific use case of our mirrors. Most notably:
1. It permits licenses that prohibit redistributing modified distfiles.
In this case, due diligence is required from developers. If this is
prohibited, they may only add original upstream sources to SRC_URI.
2. It permits restrictions on cost of redistribution, as some upstreams
prohibit selling their products. While this renders them non-free, it
shouldn't be a problem for our mirrors since we don't expect to sell
stuff there ;-).
Note that while technically there could be a problem with selling, say,
Gentoo CDs with distfiles included, RESTRICT=mirror doesn't cover this
case anyway.
WDYT?

This would be a superset of @BINARY-REDISTRIBUTABLE, I suppose? Or do we
have examples where sources are mirror restricted, but binaries built
from them can be distributed (and sold)?

That's my initial thought as well but I'm going to check them, just in
case. That is, unless the proposal is rejected.

Please check this, before we are going to decide on it.

Verified. All licenses permit source redistribution. I'm not sure if
SmartLabs really permit binary redist like we claim right now but it
permits distributing 'exact copies'.

After some further research, it turns out we have some @EULAs that
permit redistributing unmodified sources. Maybe we should drop this
item then. Or do we want to flag them mirror-restricted anyway?
