Sorry- miscommunication here.  We cannot point to runtime binaries in asf 
documentation, that is a no-no.

I believe runtime has full right to provide these binaries on github: LGPL 
license in dependency has an exception for static linking, in order to allow 
for just this case.  It's incompatible for ASF - but we're not violating 
anyone's license.  

If it's an issue tho- we're replacing this code soon, so we're fine not hosting 
it as well.  But I think the only thing necessary is to remove references to 
these binaries from the ASF site.
