I disagree. For one thing, you left off the first half of the sentece,
which says:

The whole package (wrapped in a compressed "tarfile" or "zip file")...

For another, you ignore this part:
--
This package is intended exclusively for local installation; individual
files extracted from the package may NOT be exported outside of a site
(e.g. company or university) with FTP/WWW servers other than the Home of
the Brave Ada Programmers (HBAP).

TO REPEAT: THIS PACKAGE IS INTENDED EXCLUSIVELY FOR LOCAL INSTALLATION.
IN OTHER WORDS, NO MIRROR IS ALLOWED. PERIOD. YOU MAY ONLY DISTRIBUTE
THE WHOLE PACKAGE FOR LOCAL INSTALLATION, I.E. YOU MAY NOT PUT THIS ON
ANY PUBLIC WWW SITE.

The above pretty clearly prohibits (and is intended to prohibit) anyone
else from putting it up on their own public website (except as an FTP
download).
