You would support that for non-incubating projects??? ;o) Isn't it so that the release and distribution criteria should be the same whether you are incubating or not, with only the additional requirement of incubating projects; * Incubation disclaimer. From the "general pool of requirements", that are somewhat more under the microscope for incubating projects, would be things like "No known licensing, IP and trademark issues.", but it stills applies across the board. IMHO, I think it is fairly important for incubating projects to be "the real deal" as close as possible, especially for TLP aspiring projects that does not consists of seasoned ASF veterans, as the day will come when these issues will come up. That raises the question whether the Incubator is a "school in community", and if so, whether all aspects of a running the TLP must have happened during Incubation and/or the Incubation Mentor(s) staying with the project long after graduation to ensure that all this procedures are executed correctly.
