Let me be clear on the reason for keeping the name: 1. Ant Group registered the trademark CeresDB and did marketing work associated with the product. They want to keep the result under Ant Group corp even if the software source code is donated to ASF incubator. 2. Ant Group wants to retain the possibility of providing a product with the name "CeresDB", although there is not on-going plan now.
These are all the concert reasons that the name is changed to HoraeDB for donating. And I don't think we have some policies to prevent a to-be-donated project for doing so - it's effectively the same as Ant Group donates a project named HoraeDB which shares the same code with their codebase internally named "CeresDB". I wrote it in the background to explain why https://github.com/CeresDB/horaedb has its name, but it can be unrelated to the donation (forget "CeresDB" and nothing changes).
