Please revert the introduction of fetch restriction. The following URL format can be used for downloading directly:- http://www.lsi.com/downloads/Public/RAID%20Controllers/RAID%20Controllers%20Common%20Files/${PV}_MegaCLI.zip?source=1& Also, is this potentially up for proxy maintainership?

It's fetch restricted not because it cannot be downloaded automatically. It's restricted because you need to read and accept EULA to legally use it. The fact that LSI makes a poor job at hiding it doesn't change anything. Yes, every maintainer-needed package is a good candidate for proxy maintainership. Having said that, please don't CC me on bugs concerning packages I no longer maintain. Thanks!

What if the terms of the agreement were added to portage as licenses/LSI-SLA? The user could then consent to accept both "LSI" and "LSI-SLA". > Yes, every maintainer-needed package is a good candidate for proxy > maintainership. > > Having said that, please don't CC me on bugs concerning packages I no longer > maintain. Thanks! Very well. Consider this as a response that may concern any interested party.
This is fixed now, with Avago purchasing LSI and providing non-restricted URLs.
