Thanks for doing that. ASF generally prefers “powdered by” so I would double
check with trademarks (trademarks@a.o) if this is acceptable use. [1]

I still have some concerns here’s for instance is a page [2] that says:
• The binaries are built from source from Apache MXNet without
modification.
• The binaries are obtained from the Apache MXNet python pip wheel.
The issue here is those pip “releases" contain unreleased versions of Apache
MxNet [2] and probably should not have been released by the MXNet project and
shouldn’t be used by the general public. [4] ("must not be distributed through
channels which encourage use by anyone outside the project development
community”)
There is currently a draft policy on downstream distribution [5] but I don’t
think it covers this situation. Now I would agree that the ALv2 allow you to
use Apache MXNet code, even if it is unreleased, but I’m not sure if you can
say the the resulting product is “for MXNet". That may be need a discussion on
the legal@a.o or trademarks@a.o lists.
And to be clear this is not really a DJL issue at this point, it's more an
issue for the PPMC of MXNet to sort out.
Thanks,
Justin
