The check-script to only offer working mirros is great. I'd hope that
also the old locations are updated with working mirrorlist files.
that's up to other folks than me.
I still think we should just provide working mirrorlist files, but
not
add geoip into the servers within
FedoraProject.org. I though we want to
keep running on Open Source solutions here...
What's not open source about geoip? The software is open at the very
least, it's in extras.
I read through the rules there appears to be a functional free version -
which is what we're using - the one that's in extras.
According to extras it is GPL'd.
