Can I post closed-source library to Maven/JCenter/CocoaPods?

I want to post my closed-source library to Maven/JCenter/Cocoapods. Others can freely use the binary library, but the code is not open source.

I can build self repo to fix the problem.

But if I use the central repo,

  • Maven/JCenter, don't post source.jar;
  • CocoaPods, source indicates the .zip library, vendored_frameworks indicates the framework file.

Is there any problems? (like, license requirements? Any docs?)

This is up to the service's terms and is more of a legal question than a programming one. - ssube
@ssube, right, I build private repo avoiding the probably license problem. - sduMonkey

With an OSS account on Bintray, you are allowed to link your open source packages to jcenter in order to widely distribute them. With Bintray Enterprise, you will be able to link your closed source packages to jcenter without adding your maven -source.jar files.
