[RFC] Apache MXNet branding issues

[josephevans]

In our discussion thread in general@incubator about graduating Apache MXNet to a top level project, the Apache IPMC noticed some branding issues that should be addressed.

List of current violations identified:

• DockerHub: https://hub.docker.com/u/mxnet and https://hub.docker.com/r/mxnet/python
  • FIXED: Updated to use proper name
• https://anaconda.org/anaconda/mxnet
  • Do we know who own these?
• https://cv.gluon.ai/tutorials/index.html
  • FIXED: Provided PR to fix
• https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/en/machine-learning-platform-for-ai/latest/download-mxnet-resources
  • Reached out to Alibaba via web page feedback
• https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/Deep_learning/MXNet.html
  • Created an issue to fix this
• https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-wktuc2vochjwe
  • Reached out to company (Jetware) to change name
• https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/search/results?searchTerms=MxNet
  • There are a number of marketplace offerings that are in violation
  • DLAMI-related offerings should have name changed by 5/26

Some issues (including branding) were brought up previously in a Apache JIRA ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INCUBATOR-253 but most were resolved last year.

Going forward, it would be nice to have a sort of monitor for identifying these violations sooner. Does anyone have bandwidth to create a monitor that uses a search engine to find trademark violations?

The issues from AWS-provided DLAMIs should be resolved now.

I've notified trademarks@ of the 3 outstanding branding issues listed above. We do not have PPMC associated with these entities.

Created a PR to address GluonCV site branding issues: dmlc/gluon-cv#1747

The GluonCV website has been updated.

All items, except the Anaconda packages, have been resolved. We are currently working with trademarks@ to resolve this.
