There are a few domains we're prohibited from using for distribution like fosshub.com as it's clearly part of their terms of service. In other cases, we're looking for a match between the publisher and the domain the download is coming from. It's a fairly simple heuristic so we can try to deduce when something might be incorrect or inappropriate for distribution. There isn't a reputable authoritative source to make the determination in all cases, so we've built the waiver system so we can make sure someone has had a chance to look and provide a waiver.
