Providing a download is a form of distribution, yes.

Only for jars created by projects that have a <redistributable/>
element or inherit it from the module or even repository definition
that applies to them.

There are quite a few (L)GPLed projects that Gump builds, and it
should IMHO.  Those are perfectly legal to distribute but we don't do
so because of Apache in-house policies.

We'd loose the early warning feature, which is something I wouldn't
want to loose just because a given project has elected a license I
don't agree with.  Note that the early warning works in two ways.  If
a projects builds using Ant and breaks because of a change in Ant, I
want to know about it, no matter which license the project uses.
