Hey,
thanks for clearning that up.
Imho this is somewhat unfortunate, because package names that contain
"spark", somewhat promote and advertise Apache Spark, right?
Best,
Simon

You raise a great point, and we were just discussing this. The page is
old and contains many projects that were listed before the trademarks
we're being enforced. Some have renamed themselves. We will update the
page and remove stale or noncompliant projects and ask those that need
to change to do so.
You are correct that the guidance you quote is current and should be
followed.
Note there is an exception for software identifiers.

Dear all,
I am currently developing two OSS extension packages for spark;
one related to machine learning; one related to biological
applications.
According to the trademark guidelines
(https://spark.apache.org/trademarks.html) I am not allowed to use
/Names derived from “Spark”, such as “sparkly”.
/
My question is if that is really the case or how stringent these
guidelines are, given that so many spark packages
(https://spark.apache.org/third-party-projects.html) contain Spark
as name already. I already contacted the official email for
questions like these, but didn't hear back until now.
Can anyone please shed light on this?
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Simon
