Yet another sideline, right now we are uploading the nbm-s to the apache
dist repository, signed and checksumed.
Of course we are serving them from there using redirects on our
netbeans-vm. But we are a bit standing out with that.
Producing 650+ signed binaries per release. Is it the right way to do that?

1. If we were to create an installer for installing Apache NetBeans (i.e.,
no JDK included, simply for installing NetBeans), could we distribute that

See http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#compiled-packages
You can, with various notices and caveats in mind, create convenience
binaries, but the project cannot vote on them for obvious reasons, nor
do they count as an official release. There are signing options
available for packages as well.
I read there that "binary/bytecode packages MAY be distributed
alongside official Apache releases". So the packages must also be
available on Apache infrastructure.
It doesn't mention if we can publish binaries after a release. For
example, we have another thread about publishing Ubuntu Snap packages,
but those binaries were not part of the release email vote thread, nor
are they on dist.apache.org. If we can't vote on new binaries, do we
need another release to publish new binaries?
3. What's the status in legal terms of Emilian's CoolBeans, i.e., can
anyone take Apache NetBeans source code at any point of the release and
rename it and then provide it in their own way? (I'm assuming Yes here, but
would be good to have that very clearly established.)
Yes, provided they keep the notices intact and do their best to prevent
confusion between their fork and the official product.
Cool! ;-)
