Hi Sathwik, Thank you for your answer.

We understand that Apache has a different OSS process than we have. In Eclipse terms, as far as I understood, Apache is doing "Type A" (a license certification for all dependencies). We aim for a Type B Due Diligence, which additionally provides certification, provenance check, and code scan for various sorts of anomalies. For that code scan, we need the source of all dependencies. - For details on type A and B Wayne has some words: https://waynebeaton.wordpress.com/2017/01/12/license-certification-due-diligence/ Cheers, Oliver
