But the = point already got covered and answered dozens of times imo. The answer = is that the ALv2 protects the foundation and also the release manager = already for all bona fides cases.

Does that imply that code that somebody copies from a version control system but that does not end up in a final release artifact is not covered by the ASL?=20 Is it illegal to obtain unreleased code that is clearly marked as being under the ASL and to use it elsewhere (assuming that the rules of the ASL are obeyed)?
