There’s a distinction for spotbugs and other build related tools where they can be downloaded and used during the build so long as they’re not critical to the build process.

They have to be downloaded dynamically in binary form I believe though, they cannot be included in the release.

So it’s not really in conflict with what Jeff is saying, and my recollection accords with Jeff’s

You can open a legal JIRA to confirm, but based on my understanding (and re-confirming reading https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-a ):

 
We should probably get clarification here regardless, iirc this came up when we were considering SpotBugs too.
