It gave me another idea. I think we (the OFBiz community) could agree
that the Gradle wrapper files are "convenience binaries provided by
third parties which meet certain criteria". Then we can discuss (or
ask legal) if "distributed alongside official source packages"
includes downloading them later. That would avoid OFBiz repo in the
very rare case where the wrapper would not be available in Gradle
"repo". But it a bit more complicated and not sure it's worth
following this way
I write my previous message before this your proposition :) , I agree !
we (I) can ask the the board :
"[1] All official releases MUST be uploaded to the official distribution
channel, |www.apache.org/dist|.
Content suitable for the official distribution channel includes:
* Official releases
* "Convenience binaries"
* Cryptographic signatures and checksums
* The KEYS file
* README, CHANGES and similar documents describing distributed content
If an Apache PMC wishes to publish additional materials through the
official distribution channel and there is any question about the
suitability of said materials, the PMC MUST consult with the Board.
"
If you are on case "Convenience binaries", we can share through dist, I
ask the board to confirm that with are on the way, woulfd be a confidence
