Hi Justin, Thanks for voting. Here are some clarifications: For mshadow, it is a third-party component that MXNet has been relying on since the initial contribution to MXNet. It has been included in previous releases since its category-A license allows us to do so. For this release, we are still releasing it as a third-party module, as evidenced by the content of our LICENSE file [1]. Releasing with mshadow as a third-party component hasn't been an issue in our past releases, and I believe the separate assimilation process of this project and the IP clearance should not affect this release either.
For link 1. the sourceforge mirror, it's an automatic mirror of GitHub that we have no control over [2]. Our release process generates a tag for our release candidates which is automatically mirrored there. Their editors pick popular projects for automatic mirroring. For example, see also the RCs of skywalking [3]. For 2-5, DJL is a third-party project that depends on MXNet, not a component of MXNet. We PPMC don't own or manage those artifacts. We will track its trademark usage problem in our private list. Finally, it would be great if you could help clarify what compilation problem you had. Many people verified this artifact on the dev@ vote so such an issue is a surprise to us.
