  Geographic location is based on
  <ulink url="&http.netgeo;">&http.netgeo;</ulink>.
  An interesting variation on the topic is the applet at
  <ulink url="&http.visualroute;">&http.visualroute;</ulink>.
  Anyway, in two cases people convinced me that their server
  really is somewhere else.

  <simpara>
    You are free to mirror this document anyway you like
    (that's pretty obvious given the
    <link linkend="license.FDL">license</link>).
    And if you give me notice I will add your site to the list above.
    However, I ask for a few things:
  </simpara>
  <itemizedlist>
    <listitem>
      <simpara>
	Make a complete copy, including
	<ulink url="&relative.archive;">&relative.archive;</ulink>
	and <ulink url="&relative.nai;">&relative.nai;</ulink>.
      </simpara>
    </listitem>
    <listitem>
      <simpara>
        Keep the directory structure.
	Otherwise these relative links won't work.
      </simpara>
    </listitem>
    <listitem>
      <simpara>
        Check the sites in <xref linkend="directly.updated.by.me"/>
	for updates.

  <title>Some emails</title>

  <simpara>
    The document was initially hosted on a recreational machine
    at the University of Linz in Austria. German speaking readers
    might find the exchange of
    <ulink url="&relative.nai;">emails</ulink> between
    Network Associates, Inc. and the admin of the original
    web-site interesting. There are rumors that this eventually
    lead to the removal of my pages.
  </simpara>
  <simpara>
    Anyway, university officials handled the matter in style.
    I can understand that they don't want to be associated with
    such delicate matters. No bad feelings there.
    But the technical expertise of a world class anti-virus company
    deserves broad audience. Here is my humble translation of the
    first mail:
  </simpara>

  <blockquote>
    <simpara>Dear Sirs,</simpara>
    <simpara>
      Our anti-virus team reports that instructions for the construction
      of Linux computer viruses are located on the network of the
      University of Linz. Since these documents can be used as
      building plan for the creation of dangerous viruses,
      we recommend to remove the corresponding pages from the WWW server.
    </simpara>
    <simpara>
      The link is:

  </blockquote>

  <simpara>
    The humorous reply is beyond my capabilities of translation.
    I'll just continue with the second mail from NAI.
  </simpara>

  <blockquote>
    <simpara>Dear Mr. Rosmanith,</simpara>
    <simpara>
      I must say that your ironic remarks don't contribute to ease
      the relationship between University and business world.
      The nature of your feedback gives cause for concern,
      especially since you don't object to distribution of virus
      construction kits. This is sad and disturbing.
    </simpara>
    <simpara>
      The reason for our advise is the tendency of affected companies
      to sue web providers (and Universities) offering malware or
      virus kits acting as knowledge base for new virus derivatives
      for horrendous compensation.
    </simpara>
    <simpara>
      Usually our warnings are received positively and
      are not answered with infantile ignorance, as in your case.
    </simpara>
    <simpara>Hereby we have given you notice of the dangers.</simpara>

  <simpara>A hilarious reply to this got no answer.</simpara>
