Thanks for offering to run a mirror, but you modify the site by adding "This Tor Project mirror is provided courtesy of All That Net" and there's extra javascript added to the pages. Sorry, I can't add these to the mirror list. -- Andrew pgp 0x6B4D6475
Yes, I think it is nice to get credit for offering something free, which is why I added a signature at the bottom. I offer both relays and mirror TorProject website for additional access. TorProject claims they want more relays, it even says somewhere that the project would like to turn "every user into a relay", so I am helping. Besides, a signature (defined by approved TorProject policy), might make many businesses want to offer a relay or a mirror website. I guess the question I have regarding the mirror website then is if I want to keep the signature, *can I still run a mirror without having it listed or will someone claim copyright and bug me about it?* The "added" JavaScript is an automatic optimization that is done by mod_pagespeed Apache module, which makes the pages load faster. I can disable it for the mirror website, but why would anyone want to make pages load slower? Yes, it has an annoying part that it shows the link to click when JavaScript is disabled, but the benefit mod_pagespeed offers far outweighs needing to click the link. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [tor-mirrors] ADD toric.allthatnet.com Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2014 23:08:40 -0500 From: andrew@torproject.is Reply-To: mirroring the tor website and distribution directory <tor-mirrors@lists.torproject.org> To: mirroring the tor website and distribution directory <tor-mirrors@lists.torproject.org> Thanks for offering to run a mirror, but you modify the site by adding "This Tor Project mirror is provided courtesy of All That Net" and there's extra javascript added to the pages.

I offer both relays and mirror Your domain name and org name in the listing is the credit. We can't have mirrors modifying the html, otherwise it's not a true mirror. What you do with your directory listing, of say /dist/, is open to interpretation. : I guess the question I have regarding the mirror website then is if I : want to keep the signature, *can I still run a mirror without having it : listed or will someone claim copyright and bug me about it?* Anyone can run a mirror, but if it isn't listed, it's unlikely anyone will trust it. In the past we have used our registered trademark to remove unofficial mirrors which injected their own text, ads, or swapped binaries. Mirrors should serve byte identical files to master, that is torproject.org. It's how some users verify that they are not being MITM by their OS, ISP, or government. -- Andrew pgp 0x6B4D6475
