That's what we've said before, although should be included binaries
are built from unmodified sources.  We only release sources! ;-)
Although a distribution could use our signed binaries, I don't think
requiring that is good or reasonable for an open source project.

I don't think we ever decided how much patching of sources, if any, is
allowed before people need to not call it Apache NetBeans?

Best wishes,
