The Subversion community has never released binaries -- ever -- not do we planto.That would a completely new philosophy for an Apache project, which always aimedvery heavily on distributions. It might either enforce to look at legal aspects in a different view - or lead to changing your philosophy. :-) Personally, I don't see any reason why things like creation of Windows binaries should be left to outsiders. (Apart from CollabNets business interests, which I wouldn't like to count.)
Apache's distributions are source distributions as a requirement.Binary distributions are just a convenience for users. If subversion doesn't see any benefit for the project or for users to release binaries, it is not a requirement. Especially as third parties are providing binaries. Just the licensing/trademark issue of what the third parties call their releases. Which question is best left to our licensing/trademark team.
