This is exactly the question i'm trying to clarify. The policy at
http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Releases says:

- No release made by a Podling will be endorsed by the ASF
- (releases) SHALL NOT occur until all source has been legally transferred
to the ASF.
- the release archive MUST contain the word "incubating" in the filename
- the release archive MUST contain an Incubation disclaimer

and that seems to imply there is no constraint that every podling release
MUST met all the legal requirements expected of a non-incubating ASF
release.
