Agreed, I am also not aware of any.

However, there could be patent and/or trademark law issues with some of
the packages packman hosts in your country, but IANAL, nor am I familiar
with your country's laws.

I would recommend you to check all the packages on packman individually
against potential violations of your country's laws.
