Sheng Zha commented on INCUBATOR-253:
-------------------------------------

> Anyone including PPMC members (with hat off) can build a third party artifact 
>but it needs to be clear to potential downloaders/users that said artifact is 
>a third party artifact.

> 3rd party distribution also have different branding and trademark policies 
>they need to comply with.

This makes sense. We plan to make a proposal on how our community will provide 
pre-built binary as third-party releases that adhere to the branding and 
trademark policies.

> In general they would also need to be based on released code.

I don't think the incubator has the right to require this given that the apache 
license v2 allows redistribution with or without modification as long as the 
conditions are met.

> in short if it a channel controlled by the (P)PMC then it would not be 
>considered an 3rd party release.

The definition of "control" is ambiguous. As long as the PPMC hat can be on or 
off at will, any declaration of "controlled by the (P)PMC" can be true and 
false at the same time.
