Description Ben Hsu 2003-08-22 05:24:08 UTC

Now that Red Hat seems to be "officially" endorsing BitTorrent as a means of
distribution (q.v. the Severn release notes listing BitTorrent as an alternative
to the mirrors), it would make sense for BitTorrent to be included in the next
release to make it easier for people to get the next next release, the next next
next release, et cetera.

According to its FAQ, BitTorrent is distributed under the MIT license, so that
shouldn't be a problem.
