+
+[Apache SkyWalking](https://skywalking.apache.org) is an open-source APM for a distributed system, Apache Software Foundation top-level project.
+
+On Jan. 3rd, 2022, we received reports about [Aliyun Trace Analysis Service](https://help.aliyun.com/document_detail/90277.html). It provides a cloud service compatible
+with SkyWalking trace APIs and agents. 
+
+On their product page, there is a `best-practice` document describing about their service is not SkyWalking OAP, but can work with SkyWalking agents to 
+support [SkyWalking's In-Process(Trace) Profiling](https://skywalking.apache.org/docs/main/next/en/concepts-and-designs/profiling/#in-process-profiling).
+
+**BUT, they copied the whole page of SkyWalking's profiling UI, including page layout, words,  and profiling task setup.** The only difference is the color schemes.
+
+### SkyWalking UI
+<img src="skywalking.jpeg">
+
+### Aliyun Trace Analysis UI on their document page
+<img src="aliyun.jpeg">
+
+The UI visualization is a part of the copyright. Aliyun declared their backend is NOT a re-distribution of SkyWalking repeatedly on their website, 
+and they never mentioned this page is actually copied from upstream.
+
+**This is a LICENSE issue, violating SkyWalking's copyright and Apache 2.0 License. They don't respect Apache Software Foundation and Apache SkyWalking's IP and Branding.**
