If Apache does incubate and graduate Yunikorn as a top level project, we would require Cloudera to commit to recognize Yunikorn as an Apache project in all of its materials. Otherwise, there would be confusion in the market about whether Yunikorn was an Apache project or a Cloudera project. It cannot be both. If Cloudera can commit to not using Yunikorn to describe its own project once it graduates and becomes an Apache project, ok. If not, the Apache project will need to find a new name.
