Hm, thanks for clarification! (having not dealt with ifc itself, just testing 
blass libs and seeing how it was automatically pulled off the mirrors I 
assumed it is less restricted.)
So, shouldn't the ifc ebuild be fetch-restricted then (just like the icc one)? 
Doesn't Intel want to enforce a usual click-through thing (to which this page 
actually points)?
