Bernd--
See the original point of me starting this thread: it was stated that
the sandbox (might) depend on code which is not licensed in such a
manner that is allowed for ASF projects.

Hello,
the sandbox works perfectly fine for me. Why do you think it is not
ready for release (beside we do not want to?)
I dont think we should burden such structural and long standing changes
onto a voluntary release manager given the 2.0 had the same structure.

Binaries are not an official release anyways.
But that does not mean they can include software that is incompatible
with the AL, because end users expect (and we tell them) that the
software comes under AL 2.0.
Depending on incompatible software is a different thing.
For example, most of Commons depends on Java.
That is expected to be provided by the user, not us, so they take the
decision on the license.
Even so, that seems like a *very* scary thing to even have this
code checked into the repository if it depends on
incompatibly-licensed software. Am I misunderstanding this?
It depends on the exact license.
Some incompatible dependencies are OK as binaries
http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#optional
and
http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#prohibited
But given that the sandbox does not appear to be ready to release as
it stands, I would be inclined to move it into a branch.

Hello,
Agree, the sandbox profile should be in the site build enabled,
but we cannot distribute the binaries as official release since it
has dependencies which are not Apache approved (and potentially
unfinished suff).
