Hello, Basho Technologies, founded in 2008, has developed over the years a cutting-edge suite of distributed computing products under the Riak name distributed as open source under the Apache 2 license.
Unfortunately, Basho Technologies seems to have closed their doors with investors and founders engaged in a court battle. https://www.law360.com/articles/917913/basho-suit-stays-on-course-despite-defense-counsel-chaos Now many Riak users, both corporate and individual developers, are under a great cloud of uncertainty as to what they can and can't do in terms of using and or forking the code and use of the Riak trademark. So, questions: -- Are there any legal issues with regard to continued use and development of Riak products? -- Should the community choose to fork the products, what legal issues are involved? -- Can users use the trademark and if so, under what constraints? -- If Basho Technologies is legally dissolved, what happens to the license ownership? -- Any other questions/issues we should be aware of? Many thanks, Lloyd R.Prentice Writersglen Publications _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
