>
> A board member of the ASF has indicated that it is a violation of policy for 
> any project to include binary objects as part of its distribution.  While the 
> discussion is ongoing, it seems prudent to capture the required modifications 
> to ManifoldCF which will bring it into compliance into a ticket.  As far as I 
> see it, these required modifications consist of the following:
> (1) Separate releases of all dependencies that have been patched.  This 
> includes ManifoldCF's patched httpclient, xerces, and jetty dependencies.  
> The patches and/or patched sources are currently in Jira or are in the 
> upstream area of svn.  This should also include a Java 1.5 build of HSQLDB, 
> since this database is currently built by its owner only for Java 1.6 and up. 
>  ManifoldCF releases of these packages may require modification of the 
> packages' ant builds to also adhere to the new Apache rule.  Since we will be 
> checking in sources for non-Apache projects, namely Jetty and HSQLDB, we will 
> need to confirm that this is permitted under Apache rules.  If it is not, a 
> separate googlecode project should be created instead to make these artifacts 
> available.
> (2) Removal of all jars under the lib directory, and under the integration 
> areas of individual connectors.
> (3) Additional ant "download-dependencies" actions to download all jars that 
> were formerly in the above locations.
> (4) Removal of all mention of jars in the LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt files.
