Yup.. CNCF seems to not like this change: https://github.com/cncf/toc/issues/1262

It's already been discussed. The title of the article hides the real conversation that is being highlighted. The conversation being highlighted is like a footnote... and that is Bouyant discontinuing OSS stable releases... an instance where the guidelines are guidance rather than hard and fast rules.

This has already been addressed in the threads.

Correct, once the project is donated to CNCF, so is the trademark. Even if CNCF votes to archive the project, the trademark is still owned by them. I haven't seen an instance where CNCF released them.

Looks more like an attempt to force people to pay for what should be an OSS project and goes against the spirit of CNCF. Guess that's another win for Istio, right? Have you guys consulted with CNCF to try offloading some costs of building and releasing "stable" OSS builds of LinkerD instead of forcing people into this weird arrangement? Something tells me CNCF wouldn't agree to this...

Once a project is donated to CNCF, it is donated in full. You cannot withdraw. They would need to withdraw from the project, but they cannot withdraw the project itself.
