Not saying they don't have the money to buy $50 disks as you say for mirroring, or that the companies that releases get mirrored to don't have it but if we can cut their expenses down that's always nice. Apache has over 80+ top level projects that are all making releases and so forth, and a ton of Incubator projects too, and a ton of Labs projects, so it's important to be good citizens. I wouldn't say these are "my" restrictions either -- I've seen a number of other people over the years on these lists make the same comment, so I'm just passing it along. > > If you are flexible, I will recommend we include the built docs.

Fine by me, but I can't speak for the others :) Thanks for taking the time to address my comments/questions.
