That's the point though.  If "you" (for generic values of "you") export
code under US legal restriction from the US then you're in breach of
US regulations.  Whether you know about it or not.

Fun, huh?

If "you" run a mirror then you get to determine your legal risk and
whether you should keep the mirror.  The CentOS team are not lawyers;
they can't tell you.

It's a fun legal question as to who does the export; the person
making available for export on a web site or the person downloading
from that website.  As far as I know it's not really settled.  In
my opinion the RedHat wording is a prayer hoping that'll cover them :-)
But I'm not a lawyer, either!

If you're really concerned then consult a lawyer.

(This actually applies to _any_ downloader, not just people who mirror).
