Shane Curcuru commented on PODLINGNAMESEARCH-23:
------------------------------------------------
Approved.
Note that this really points out a hole in the podling name search policy. We
need to update it to say (something like): If the podling has a
well-established name over a period of several years, and the donor of the
podling's IP is explicitly granting the trademark rights to the name to the ASF
as part of the incubation/graduation, then the podling name search step is
simply informing trademarks@ of this fact.
If there's a well-established name (or especially a registered one, although
that's not required) being donated, that in of itself is a very strong
indicator that the name will continue to be suitable, especially when we
include it within the Apache Foo branding. Obviously, if there are any
previous or current complaints or issues with the pre-existing name, then
trademarks@ and the PPMC need to evaluate those to ensure they can be dealt
with as an Apache project.
Thanks to CloudStack PPMC for being diligent as always!
