Hi Justin, Sorry for the late reply. First of all, I would like to explain the issues about the Doris trademark.
1. Trademark and branding issues related to Starrocks Starrocks is a database product of a commercial company that used the name DorisDB in early 2021. After that, Doris PPMC received a notice that the name "DorisDB" was involved in trademark infringement, and began to negotiate with that commercial company. Eventually, the company officially renamed dorisdb to starrocks[1] in September 2021. At the same time, these domains[2] and codebase[3] are no longer in use. And, I mentioned the progress of this thing in the Doris podling report in November 2021[4], which said: > Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of? > The main branding issue has been addressed(DorisDB renamed to StarRocks). So, we believe that the branding issue with the Doris has been resolved in September 2021. 2. Questions about the transfer of the Doris trademark The Doris trademark was originally held by Baidu, which started to transfer the trademark to ASF in January this year. At the beginning of April, Baidu inc signed the Assignment forms, PoAs and Assignment agreement sent by ASF and forwarded them to ASF's attorney in China[5]. But I don't know why Mark Thomas didn't know about the progress. We are inquiring with the asf attorney in China. 3. What is the relationship between the proposed PPMC and chair to the StarRocks project? In Doris' Resolution, there are 22 initial PMC members. We have asked every PPMC member in the private@doris if they are willing to join Doris PMC[6]. And by default, all PPMC members agree to join. Among the 22, 4 of them work for Starrocks, and I personally, as the PMC Chair, am not an employee of starrocks. 4. License issue This is indeed a problem, I have communicated with starrocks and will notify the progress as soon as possible. But as you said, it's not a graduation issues.
