OK. I will raise the question about publishing pre-final TCKs AS WELL AS the question about common binary artifacts.

Hi Scott
In the EE Platform meeting yesterday I had thought that the question
being asked was: what license should be applied to pre-final (e.g.
Milestone) releases of TCKs. It has been suggested that there is a
question about how to publish common binary artifacts that each
component TCK test system may need to consume to perform the tests.
It is true that we also want to publish common binary (Platform TCK) artifacts that may be used by each Component TCK system for which we intend to release milestone releases for if allowed to do so.
Could you please clarify -- are you asking about the requirements for
publication of a pre-final TCK, or are you asking about requirements
implied for a set common utility artifacts?
I did mean to ask about publication of a pre-final TCK but good point to ask about requirements for a set of community utility artifacts.
If you could describe the problem or potential problem you have, today,
that would also be helpful.
Today or soon, I planned to complete a milestone release of common (Platform TCK) artifacts that may be used by Component TCK system found in the Platform TCK.
I ask because, I believe that the TCK license just applies to tests. Not
to the machinery used to run those tests. My initial reaction would be
-- common binary artifacts should be licensed under the TCKs 'project
license' only.

If you can, please try to clarify within the next hour since the Spec.
committee begins a 9 AM pacific daylight time (65 minutes from now).
Thanks Ed!
