What Are The Requirements To Distribute Other Artifacts In Addition To The Source Package?

ASF releases typically contain additional material together with the source package. This material may include documentation concerning the release but must contain LICENSE and NOTICE files. As mentioned above, these artifacts must be signed by a committer with a detached signature if they are to be placed in the project’s distribution directory. Again, these artifacts may be distributed only if they contain LICENSE and NOTICE files. For example, the Java artifact format is based on a compressed directory structure and those projects wishing to distribute jars must place LICENSE and NOTICE files in the META-INF directory within the jar. Nothing in this section is meant to supersede the requirements defined here and here that all releases be primarily based on a signed source package.
