Being a charitable 501(c)3 foundation, the ASF makes no commerical
judgements with respect to 'certifications' or 'approved distributions'.
What commerical and non-commerical entities do with the ASF source code is
up to them, provided they comply with license, copyright and trademark law.
Other software foundations organized as 501(c)6 organizations have more
flexibility in this respect.

E.g. a vendor cannot offer a "Certified Apache Tomcat Administrator'
designation, as this implies endorsement by the ASF, in violation of the
ASF's mark.
