Agreed - for the Flex podling the mentors have asked for a distinct
"binaries" folder, see
http://apache.org/dist/incubator/flex/4.8.0-incubating/

I think that's a good step, and it would be even better to add a
README in there which points to an URL that explains the source/binary
release thing.

The best way to clarify that is to probably to create an issue at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL and discuss on the
legal-discuss list, where people from multiple projects that are
affected by this can join. It's an ASF-wide issue, not an Incubator
issue.
