Thus:
If the central maven repository maintainers (Maven PMC) decide to put
incubator artifacts into their repository without a click through "this is
incubator code" disclaimer, we'd have no legal reason to say no. The Apache
License allows them to do so.
The Incubator PMC controls the policy on how podlings release. Not the
upstream policy. And this policy says: "You keep your releases separated
from the official releases". Allowing the usage of a maven repo for
publishing these is a privilege, not a right.
That information is stale;
http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/{podling}/
http://www.apache.org/dist/{tlp}/{subproject}/
There was earlier confusion in the life of the Incubator that an incubating
release is not an ASF release. This misunderstanding has been corrected
(repeatedly).
The Maven team has an obligation to apply the same rules for ASF artifacts
as for Third Party artifacts, owing to the fact that they assert no more
control than any other typical mirror. And to correct your other
misunderstanding, the maven repository is moving to the ASF, although
still co-located out-of-house on ISP hardware.
