My understanding is that, for Apache, "release" is reserved for Source Code although <<http://apache.org/dev/release.html> although non-distributions are also producible and always built from a released source however. Diligence with respect to IP in binaries that come as project distributions still applies, including handling of LICENSE and NOTICE, only this time specific to the distribution. There may be more about that. > > > Gilles > > > > > Emmanuel Bourg > > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
