[CentOS-mirror] Mirror Detail

Furthermore (which I've only just discovered), changing the location from IR to US doesn't mean that your mirror will be accepted and to be honest, this is quite deceptive conduct which I believe (and I feel I can speak on behalf of CentOS/RedHat) warrants not wanting a certain mirror partner on the network. There are a number of systems in place that are used to confirm the location of a host, not to mention that you failed to change your hostnames and the IP address is an identical match for the submission you submitted two days prior. As far as I know, CentOS cannot accept mirrors from a company based in a country with US sanctions, so regardless of whether or not you self-host or use a third-party to host your mirror (such as OVH, Rackspace, etc.) it still cannot be accepted.

And here's a tip - check your traceroutes. I highly doubt US-bound traffic from Australia would route to the US, over to Paris, on to Frankfurt then back to the US.

Subject: Re: [CentOS-mirror] Mirror Detail

Two days ago, I replied to your email advising that CentOS cannot accept your mirror due to sanctions placed on Iran by the US Government. It is illegal for CentOS to do so.

Due to the US Export Administration Regulations (“export sanctions”) placed on Iran by the US Government, RedHat and CentOS are unable to accept your mirror as a mirror for the CentOS Project.

“CentOS software and technical information may be subject to the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (the “EAR”) and other U.S. and foreign laws and may not be exported, re-exported or transferred (a) to a prohibited destination country under the EAR or U.S. sanctions regulations (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, and the Crimea Region of Ukraine, subject to change as posted by the United States government)”

Please do refer to https://www.centos.org/legal/ for more information. We do however thank you for your offer and should circumstances change, The CentOS Project may be able to review this in the future.

Thanks,
Christopher Hawker
