> Because a source release could not contain compiled code

Again, I don't see this stated explicitly. Perhaps the guidance should be 
clarified if this is the intention?

    Because a source release could not contain compiled code (category A or 
otherwise), if it does then it not open source. See for instance [1]. This is 
why tools like Apache Rat look for certain types of binary files in release 
artefacts.

    This has also come up before a number of times e.g. including the gradle 
jar in a source release e.g [2]

    Thanks,
    Justin
