Seems like for the past two weeks I only have weekends to respond :-( Apologies for the delay on this thread.

I don't think I was clear: I understand that ASF has foundation-wide trademark guidelines, what I was asking is: are we allowing PMCs to put additional constraints on top of those. > How is the release policy not clear ( > http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#distribute-other-artifacts) when it > says: > >All releases are in the form of the source materials needed to make changes > > to the software > > > >And then it says > >In all such cases, the binary/bytecode package must have the same version > number as the source release and may only add binary/bytecode files that > are the result of compiling that version of the source code release. Right. So what happens to at least 4 different (and I do mean different) ways of building Hadoop? Are these all different distributions? Do ALL of them need to be blessed by PMC? > The Hadoop PMC is utterly free to produce a Hadoop RPM with Hadoop in it > that corresponds to an Apache Hadoop release. Having project Foo produce a > release of Bar, Baz and Pigdog is pretty far off the reservation, however. It is. But if they screw up packaging guidelines inadvertently and the downstream want to take matters in their own hands -- how is it "off the reservation"? Remember -- we're still talking producing binary packages from exact same source release that PMC blessed -- just using different build and packaging mechanics.
