So the questions are: Are my suspicions correct, and ejabberd upstream

Just a comment: if the upstream authors actually own all the copyrights
(e.g. there are no 3rd-party contributors), they can legally release any
sort of binaries, etc, even if no one else can. However, even if this is
the case, releasing artifacts without source in this manner is bad form.
