Yet another reason we need #reproduciblebuilds -- trademark concerns around recompiled binaries.
@johns how does the great thing mitigate the aggravating thing? I'm not connecting the dots.
@mlinksva It would be easy to prove that it's just an unmodified redistribution. Should redistributors who are just recompiling *have* to prove that in order to keep the name? Probably not, but I do have a small amount of sympathy for the point that recompiling can introduce problems, like via the compiler used even if source unmodified.
@johns Could you give an example?
