'''DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT'''

In addition to the Apache mirror system incubating projects may distribute artefacts on other platforms as long as they follow these general guidelines:
- Source releases and connivence binaries need to be made from IPMC and PPMC approved ASF releases.
- An incubating disclaimer must be clearly be displayed where the artefacts are made available.
- Release candidates, nightlys and snapshots must not be advertised to the general public.
- Apache project branding and naming needs to be respected.
- It should be clear that the artefact in under the ALv2 license.
- Where possible these artefacts should not be referred to as releases.

If any podling is found not to comply they will be asked to fix it, if a fix doesn’t happen with a week they will be asked to remove the offending artefact(s), if a podling commits serial offences or fails to remove artefacts when asked to within a week they will be banned from using that distribution mechanism altogether. The IPMC reserves the right to ask INFRA to remove the artifact if the podling doesn't follow these guidelines.
