Common reasons to reject a Cask entirely:
+ We have strong reasons to believe including the Cask can put the whole project at risk. Happened only once so far, [with Popcorn Time](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/pull/3954).
+ The Cask is unreasonably difficult to maintain. Examples include [Audacity](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/pull/27517) and [older Java development Casks](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/57387).
+ The Cask is unreasonably difficult to maintain. Examples once included [Audacity](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/pull/27517) and [older Java development Casks](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/57387).
+ The app is a trial version, and the only way to acquire the full version is through the Mac App Store.
+ Similarly (and trickier to spot), the app has moved to the Mac App Store but still provides old versions via direct download. We reject these in all official repos so users don’t get stuck using an old version, wrongly thinking they’re using the most up-to-date one (which, amongst other things, might be a security risk).
+ The app is both open-source and CLI-only (i.e. it only uses the `binary` artifact). In that case, and [in the spirit of deduplication](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/15603), submit it first to [Homebrew/core](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core) as a formula that builds from source. If it is rejected, you may then try again as a cask (link us to the issue so we can see the discussion and reasoning for rejection).
