[I] [Bug] Rename greenplum_path.sh and generate-greenplum-path.sh to remove trademarked references [cloudberry]
edespino opened a new issue, #1149:
URL: https://github.com/apache/cloudberry/issues/1149
### Apache Cloudberry version
The source release for Apache Cloudberry (Incubating) 2.0.0 RC1 includes two filenames that reference the Greenplum® trademark:
greenplum_path.sh
gpMgmt/bin/generate-greenplum-path.sh
These files are invoked during the installation process and are therefore part of the user-visible and executable surface area of the product.
Why this is a problem
Under Apache Software Foundation policy, release artifacts must not include third-party trademarks in filenames, scripts, generated files, or visible output — unless required for compatibility and accompanied by explicit disclaimers.
These two files risk implying affiliation or endorsement by Broadcom Inc., which owns the Greenplum® trademark. This is especially concerning because:
generate-greenplum-path.sh is executed during installation
It produces an environment script named greenplum_path.sh
There is no contextual disclaimer or namespace isolation
This violates ASF release guidelines and blocks the promotion of RC1.
Context
This issue was flagged during the RC1 vote process by the release manager. A re-roll of RC2 will occur once the rename and install updates are complete.
### What happened
Under Apache Software Foundation policy, release artifacts must not include third-party trademarks in filenames, scripts, generated files, or visible output — unless required for compatibility and accompanied by explicit disclaimers.
### What you think should happen instead
Proposed Fix
Rename gpMgmt/bin/generate-greenplum-path.sh to generate-cloudberry-env.sh
Update the generated file name to cloudberry_env.sh (or another project-appropriate name)
Update all installation tooling, scripting, and test references accordingly
Validate the renamed script and generated file perform correctly
Document the rename in the changelog or README if needed
### How to reproduce
Install from source and the file greenplum_path.sh is created in the installation directory.
### Operating System
Linux
### Anything else
_No response_
### Are you willing to submit PR?
- [ ] Yes, I am willing to submit a PR!

how about `ln -s cloudberry-env.sh greenplum_path.sh` in post-install scripts ?

Yep, it would be the best

I understand your proposal, but I have some concerns:
The file greenplum_path.sh is widely used, and for many users, the first action during deployment is to run source greenplum_path.sh. Changing this name would disrupt established user behavior, especially for those who have long relied on Greenplum. This alteration could lead to unnecessary confusion and complications for our potential users, developers, and DBAs. Since Cloudberry is built upon Greenplum, it should maintain compatibility with existing behaviors.
I'm not sure how other Apache projects have addressed similar issues, but it might be beneficial to look into their solutions.
Additionally, we have numerous files named postgres.xxx, whose trademark is owned and managed by the PostgreSQL Community Association of Canada (PGCAC).

We could create greenplum_path.sh in post-install scripts of our packages. greenplum_path.sh won't exists in a code as a file, but for those who use our packages everything will work as usual.

Hi, I've been thinking about the best way to fix issue.
And my proposal on how we could solve the issue without disrupting the development process: Let's split up the work into pieces:
1. Add new environment file (quite safe step) - see https://github.com/apache/cloudberry/pull/1166
2. Switch to using cloudberry-env.sh in the cloudberry-devops-release repository (again quite safe, we could easily check if all works fine).
3. Use cloudberry-env in Makefile and other scripts.Remove greenplum-path from usage (I believe in our tests here).
4. Create a symbolic link in RPM and Debian packages. (step for backward compability)
