I don't think anything changed here. Do you think something need to be
changed for the release candidate to be acceptable (the vote is on the
source zip linked in the original mail).
There are two strands of issue here. A general one about approving
binaries and a point about distributing modified Jena as binary without
it's NOTICE and LICENSE files.
Approving binaries:
Binaries must correspond to a release.
The distribution mechanism for binaries is via
repository.ao/content/repositories/releases/org/apache/...
Note "releases".
Material that is published through the Apache maven repository needs
sort of VOTE. It transfers the legal liability from the RM to the
foundation for one thing.
Surely, a "+1" ought to include checking what is produced is correct.
Removing NOTICE and LICENSE:
Clerezza is redistributing modified Jena binaries via
repository.ao/content/*releases* without the NOTICE and LICENSE from
Jena. Xerces, for example, cause material in LICENSE and some BSD code
causes material in NOTICE.
