As far as I'm concerned, making it possible for mirror admins to stay 
within the law trumps ease of use for FOSS believers (i. e. not having 
to check the license of a tainted package).

So, if we're excluding technical solutions,  I vote tainted.

However, I still think that Col's solution would be preferable, for the 
same reasons that I think a free/nonfree switch in the installer is 
preferable to excluding nonfree code from our media and installs 
unilaterally.
