""" (In reply to comment #4) > The way this is worded bans even distribution to the US from outside the US, > [...] In particular, how is RPM Fusion or its mirrors to prevent US users > from downloading the software? (In reply to comment #5) > As far as I know, most RPM Fusion mirrors are anyway in Europe, > not in the US. <drumroll>And the number 1 country with most RPM Fusion mirrors is: US </drumroll><applause/> Six mirrors to be precise.
