| -We ask that third-party projects refrain from using confusing names that sound like an official Kubernetes subproject, i.e. "kube", "k8s", "kubernetes" substrings and pick some alternate creative name, with a notable exception for [Conformant Distros](https://www.cncf.io/training/certification/software-conformance/). Many existing projects have not done this, and we are not seeking to alter them, but do remember that "k8s" and "kubernetes" are protected trademarks. |
