Seriously though, this is just plain dumb wrong:

This is again different from including the packages. The details are
important from a legal perspective.
Sure it is different from including the packages ourselves, that wasn't
the point. My point is, that if we can refer to anything, we might as
well include the configuration files for those third party repositories
that hold the packages we can't ship/include.
In other words: there's no difference in being allowed to link to
anything and actually shipping the link in that very package.
Functionally, the effects of the latter actually isn't anything
different from shipping the packages from a host set up on the other
side of the pond.
So, I'll back up Jesse's question:

This time, substitute "our repo" for:
"some repo being 'ours' -though not really /ours/- (but replicated over
non-US mirrors only?)".
Next reply I'll send you a regex.
Same answer.
Can't be.
Go and read the Fedora Advisory Board list threads which
already answer this question.
