I don't think, we have to mirror every single GPL software. But maybe a comprehensive catalogue of free software and data (like fonts) would be a good idea.
It fits into the emotional state of this discussion that suddenly "a free OGG player" has become "every single GPL software"...
And no, Pablo, I wasn't saying anything about "DVDs of free operating systems" either. I was talking about a single, 1MB+ ttf file. Yeah, that would surely crush our bandwidth and disk capacity, as you more or less predicted.
If we have a free TTF file to download from the web somewhere, link's fine. If not, I see no reason *not* to upload and offer one. Sure haven't heard one in the previous postings.
Come on, where's the problem? We're offering 4-5 *GB* with pictures to download for en already. And you say we're not equipped to serve a single TTF file?
Let's all calm down a little, Magnus
