Apache isn't about 'community over code'. The code is just as important - if not more so. For Incubator releases, the releases aren't held to the same legal standard as releases from other PMCs. The Incubator PMC is generally comfortable releasing code that is not yet legally at the same standard as other PMCs would. Everyone understands that and it's okay. This is why we have explicit disclaimers regarding releases. In light of that, I believe it is prudent for us to place certain reasonable low barriers at getting the code. Since Maven can't display any notices when it downloads a binary, then that isn't a tool that we should be recommending for implicit distribution. The Maven devs are fully aware what it would take to satisfy that, but it's not very high on their priority list. Hence, it's not high on my list to work around a tool that doesn't support our desired policies. -- justin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
