You don't really gain anything if you include the checksum files.
They only have value if they are on a trusted server.  If someone
wanted to modify the AOO install in a malicious way they would just
generate new hash files as well, and put them onto the CD.   But it
would be useful to link to the authoritative hashes, perhaps in your
HTML instructions page:

We've certainly given permission in the past for CD use of name and
logo, generally asking for attribution, a link back to the project,
etc.  I think the most recent approved request was from Hirano-san.

So this would not be an official Apache release, but more like a remix
of our AOO 3.4 release.   We could include something like this in
future releases, but I suspect the CD label itself commonly needs to
be customized on a per-event basis.
