My pragmatic answer is that we are doing those weekly snapshots which
for a stable branch like 4.1 are more or less of the same quality that
any release would see at this point and that updating the license for
a branch as mature just is a bad thing as it massively violates the
expectations anyone would have at this point in the lifecycle.
