Hi all, I checked that on the incubator ML.
https://lists.apache.org/thread/gbwc1yypc03wb0hw1mf5fxwhh8ypzyrj > Only releases made under the Apache Incubator can be hosted on ASF > infrastructure like kie.apache.org. > > Older (pre-Apache) releases such as 7.x or 8.x cannot be mirrored or served > there, but you may link to them from your download page if it’s made very > clear they’re non-ASF releases (e.g., add a note like “These are pre-Apache > releases and not ASF-approved.”). So, we cannot move old docs/binaries to kie.apache.org. Currently the kie.apache.org website has pages with links to the older versions. https://kie.apache.org/docs/components/drools/drools_old_documentation https://kie.apache.org/docs/components/drools/drools_old_downloads I think that's the right direction. The wording should be improved by clarifying they are non-ASF releases. Would that be acceptable?
