While it is true that *we* cannot distribute them (as our releases must be
under the terms of the Apache license), it is not correct that the extension
cannot be distributed in binary form whatsoever.
I suggest explicitly noting that because the binary form of extension
bundles an LGPL library (JRadius), and because all releases of Apache Guacamole
must be under the terms of the Apache license, this extension is only included
in source form.
