Hi,

> Same thread.  Specifically Mark T's response [1] and Craig's affirmation [2]

Not sure that applies here as I think we have compiled code without the 
corresponding source. Can someone on the project confirm?

Even then I would expect that to be an unusual exception where there was no 
other way of not including the source code. If it’s compiled it not really open 
source is it?

Documentation (recently changed) [1][2] has been clear that source releases 
should not contain jar files. Both of these pages use to contain a release 
checklist that contained:
"This package may not contain compiled components (such as "jar" files) because 
compiled components are not open source, even if they were built from open 
source.”

BTW that checklist was quite useful perhaps we should put it back somewhere?

Thanks,
Justin
