Leave out LICENSE, NOTICE, or do those files wrong. Include jars, Cat X source. Whatever. We aren't going to police that. Binaries in there? Knock yourself out. Legal might get on your case, but that's Not Our Problem(tm). If the IPMC says "here is a podling tarball that we will allow", then it can be put into distribution. Use whatever rules you want for the contents, or lack of rules. Infra just wants it placed into our distribution system in a specific way, to ensure correctness, auditing, and resilience. VP Infra has already stated the above. As an Officer of Infrastructure, I concur and reiterate that position. Regards, Greg Stein InfraAdmin, ASF
