That not correct, Apache Flex for example hosts both source and binary release that contain code from 3rd parties. The catch is however it needs to be code that has an Apache comparable license. Most common open source licenses (with the exception of GPL) are comparable. [1][2] > It seems to be a place for singular type of projects. There are many examples of Apache software that bundle a large amount of 3rd party code. For instance Apache Mynewt (in incubation) bundles source code from around 20 projects. There’s probably more 3rd party code in it repo than ASF licensed code. It also made a release with a GPL dependancy (after asking for permission, but has since removed that code). Another incubating project MADLib has a dozen or so Apache licensed files, and 100’s of BSD licensed files. Generally none of this is too much of an issue to get around.
