This is exactly the question i'm trying to clarify. The policy at http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Releases says: - No release made by a Podling will be endorsed by the ASF - (releases) SHALL NOT occur until all source has been legally transferred to the ASF. - the release archive MUST contain the word "incubating" in the filename - the release archive MUST contain an Incubation disclaimer and that seems to imply there is no constraint that every podling release MUST met all the legal requirements expected of a non-incubating ASF release. ...ant
