Erik de Bruin commented on FLEX-33188:
--------------------------------------

The installer BADGE utility, which simply downloads the INSTALLER binary to the user's machine, isn't an (official) release and can be found on [1] and [2] has a 'disclaimer' link opening this page:

http://incubator.apache.org/flex/installerbadge/disclaimer.html

The installer APPLICATION, the source of which is an official release, includes a 'disclaimer' button on it's UI which opens this page:

http://incubator.apache.org/flex/installer.html

I've updated these files to reflect various concerns about information about binaries and official releases.

> IIUC InstallApacheFlex automatically downloads Flex binaries (FLEX-33187).
> As the ASF does not release binaries [1], I think the installer needs to warn its users that they should get the source code instead if they want an ASF release.
> [1] Search for "binar" at http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html for more info
