On my initial look, things looked good. You mention an issue under debian-mirror about the fact that it stores everything from all the different package sections in to one and not understanding it. Here is a link to the page that provides the basic information on it:
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages I am guessing you are outside of the US so I think you are fine on this as well as anyone using this script would be. As far as within the US is concerned, I think the ramifications would vary from package to package and from license agreement to license agreement. However, this would probably be most useful to admins who wanted to do farm updates on a site without having each machine have to download the packages each time from the WAN. This would actually be very useful to me. Further research would have to be done to determine if having a local repository for local only distribution caused any problems with any of these packages but I think you would have about the same sort of liability as you have if you are running the software anyways. I don't know a lot about all of these legal issues.

[I'm not subscribed, so please Cc: comments] For some years I have been using some scripts to mirror our beloved Debian distribution (well, a good part of it), and finally I have found some time to package & document it all and offer to other people. The idea is to mirror what you need, to spare bandwidth, and even to do some complex tasks like transporting it from one place to another intelligently. It's somehow complex to explain it all in a few sentences so visit: <http://linux.inet.hr/debian/> and judge for yourself. All comments welcome! -- Zlatko P.S.
