Wait, wait, wait... from what I understand you may!
...but *you* would have take care to respect all the
licenses that are included in this redistribution

not covering the risk anymore.
Or am I here on the wrong track?

But if that's true what's the right to exist for the ASF from just the
legal point of view? They break exactly this part what made it popular
to use Apache stuff: mostly no risk through any legal issues.
These copyright and license issues can really jam all the (open source)
software development - but what happens when they introduce software
patents additionally in Europe?

That's how I understood it as well. But you're right that we should
wait on more info/decisions from the board before going too far with
the licensing discussions (which, again and IMHO, are distinct from a
decision about using Maven-like smart download tools or not).
