Of course that's possible, as Geertjan says the NetBeans (P)PMC just needs to clarify how things have to be named, to avoid confusion and especially as you say make it crystal clear what comes from Apache NetBeans and what does not. > ...this would > be distributing an official release of NetBeans, just packed together with > something else.... If it's binaries then no, it is not distributing an official release because releases consist only of source code. It's redistributing a convenience binary...I think we need to clarify at the Apache level this difference, I recently proposed a two-level view on releases and convenience binaries [1] which has not made its way to our official docs yet but should help understand. -Bertrand [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/01a64394c3996406d98904256ebdd46667bf73947983722e7ab57f50@%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E
