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.

    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.

    I said above I would get this clarified on legal discuss. I've also added a 
discussion item to the next board meeting.

    Thanks,
    Justin
