Description

Over the last few months I’ve been facing with a significant number of slide decks and white papers, prepared by our experts for the clients, and used in the pre-sales and other meetings. While not in 100% of the cases, but yet a common scheme is to mis-attribute the FOSS projects and technologies used in our solution. This is specifically noticeable in the case of Apache Software Foundation projects, because they are the most widely used technologies in our immediate area of expertise.

it is pretty important to use the proper attribution and trademarked names. The rule of thumb is to always prepend the project name with Apache i.e. it is always Apache Hadoop, Apache Parquet, Apache Hive, Apache Spark, Apache Zeppelin and so on.
