This is a non-sequitur surely? Can something that is self-evident need clarifying? Or do you suppose it is self-evident to all besides the feeble intellects of this community? I think a self-evident policy would anyway be an oxymoron. I'll note that the legal-discuss list seem to disagree about both the current policy (LEGAL-288 endorsed binaries in source control, but apparently Ray did not), and about the sense of restricting binary dependencies in source releases. This doesn't sound very self-evident to me.

Also, I cannot see how the ASF can enforce anything retroactively. This is not a retrospective change just a clarification on what should be self evident. The ASF has made retrospective changes in the past e.g. changes to ASF header policy and changes to license compatability. > Justin, please inform us of the threads you start. I said above I would get this clarified on legal discuss. I've also added a discussion item to the next board meeting.
