The way I read it, there's no explicit permission to redistribute it.  Ergo, all-rights-reserved apply and we should restrict it.

I don't see why there should be nomirror. Provided license don't have an explicit restriction for mirroring.

That's not how copyright works. Things are only allowed if explicitly granted by the license, and it doesn't mention redistribution.
