Hi Justin,

When examining these clauses in the context of distribution in our project 
(MXNet), I had a few questions to clarify. In the release guideline, there are 
the following statements:
> Convenience binaries need to follow licensing policy and not include any 
> category X licensed software.

Does the convenience binaries include nightlys? Or CI test builds? If yes, 
what's the recommendation if a project needs to test category X optional 
dependencies?

> Where possible it should be pointed out that Apache project make source 
> releases and convenience binaries are just a convenience for end user.

What's the reason for requiring this statement? Can a project choose to vote on 
a binary release under ALv2 to make it official?

> Apache project branding and naming needs to be respected.

What does this mean to the PPMCs? Would it be more helpful if this includes 
reference to the branding policies that the PPMCs should adhere to and protect? 
(e.g. [1][2][3])

> It should be clear that the artifacts are under the ALv2 license.

Would there be cases where the convenience binaries must be licensed under a 
different but non-Category-x license due to dependencies? If so, what's the 
recommendation?

Best,
Sheng
