[jira] [Comment Edited] (INCUBATOR-253) Issues with MXNet releases
and their distribution
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INCUBATOR-253?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17259164#comment-17259164 ]

--------------------------------------------------------------
*Summary*
Most of the issues from last update hinged on the resolution of LEGAL-516. We are very glad that LEGAL-516 concluded that ASF projects compiled using NVIDIA’s CUDA compiler may be distributed under the Apache License 2.0, which unblocks many of the distribution practices that are essential to the wide adoption of software that utilizes GPU. We would like to thank for the help, the patience, and the leniency and flexibility that the incubator and legal granted us, and the numerous helps we received along the way from the ASF members and our community members from NVIDIA. Especially, I would like to thank Michael O’Conner and Triston Cao from NVIDIA for pushing this through within their organization.
Based on the conclusion of LEGAL-516, binary distribution of CUDA-compiled Apache projects can be properly licensed as ALv2. In addition, the branding issues from distribution pages from Amazon, NVIDIA, and Intel have all been acted on. As a result, among the 9 pending issues from last update, 5 can be resolved. We are following up on the remaining items to resolve all issues in INCUBATOR-253.
As part of our improvement in brand management, we are including third-party brand usage review in our quarterly reports and we will keep it as part of our regular practice beyond graduation.
*Status on open issues since last update:*
1. Source and convenance binary releases containing Category X licensed code. (pending item 5) * Source code releases by the PPMC do not contain Category X code.
Takedown and backfill of compliant binary releases by the PPMC on repository.apache.org is in progress, see item 5.
PyPI releases are made by third-party. See item 8.
5. Maven releases containing Category X licensed code. (pending) * Takedown of binary releases on repository.apache.org initiated (i.e. INFRA-20442). Based on the resolution of LEGAL-516, the takedown (and backfill) includes those that include GPL licensed components. We are working on this in the infra issue.
6. PyPI releases containing Category X licensed code. (Resolved) * The third-party releases are compliant with branding guidelines since the releases are from official source code releases and are properly licensed with ALv2.
7. Docker releases containing Category X licensed code. (Resolved) * The third-party releases are compliant with branding guidelines since the releases are from official source code releases and are properly licensed with ALv2.
9. Trademark and branding issues with PyPI and Docker releases. (Resolved) * These release are compliant with trademark and branding requirements since they don’t contain Category X licensed code and are licensed with ALv2 based on item 6 and 7.
10. Trademark and brand issues with naming of releases. (Resolved) * There are no binary releases by the PPMC besides the repository.apache.org releases in item 5.
14, 22, 23. Branding and release of 3rd parties containing unreleased code.
Known pages with issues: * +[https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/frameworks/mxnet-release-notes/rel_20-03.html+] (item 14, Resolved)
NVIDIA switched to "NVIDIA Optimized Deep Learning Framework, powered by Apache MXNet” for naming.
* +[https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B07YW8HVLD?qid=1595741035764&sr=0-4&ref_=srh_res_product_title+] (item 22, pending) PPMC reached out to Bitnami directly regarding this listing [1]. Bitnami responded but the page still needs update. We followed up again with Bitnami this week.
* +[https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/search/results?x=0&y=0&searchTerms=%22MXNet+] (item 23, pending) PPMC reached out to AWS through internal channel to fix branding issue. Amazon intends to use AWS MX powered by Apache MXNet naming convention [2]. The naming change is in progress.
* After last update, for item 15, SourceForge further added a disclaimer that the page is an automatic mirror of MXNet’s GitHub tags: +[https://sourceforge.net/projects/apache-mxnet.mirror/+].
In addition, MXNet PPMC identified several more listings that require correction according to the branding guideline on AWS marketplace that are related to AWS Deep Learning Container/DLAMI [3], and they have all been resolved.
