I'm a little confused because I thought releases only consisted of sources
and not binaries. But then I also found this link:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#notes-on-source-only-releases

Is this correct: Apache releases are only source code, but most projects
also release binaries for convenience (and these binaries also have to have
the licenses checked), and if you don't release any binaries it's called a
source-only release?

So, as long as the binary files don't go on dist.apache.org, we don't have
to check the licenses? Do the binaries have dependencies that are NOT in
the source files? Can you give me an example? (Sorry for the barrage of
questions.)

Thanks,

Gale
