Bug Description
https:/
This doc does not seem to reference LINBIT, or the DRBD trademark.
"DRBD® is a trademark of LINBIT in Europe, USA, Asia and many other countries."
The server admin PDF guide does not make reference that DRBD is a trademark, and that it is a product of LINBIT. As a partner in the open source community, we kindly ask to have reference to our company name when referring to our product, as well to include proper trademark references for DRBD.
We (LINBIT) are an open source company providing free GPLv2 code, both in Ubuntu and in the Kernel Mainline. We hope that it is relevant to the open source community that companies like Canonical are existing off their own independent efforts without big sponsorship deals like Mozilla or Apache.
Support your partners in open source please :) Please fix these references.
Best,
-Kavan
Reassigning to the serverguide.
I don't know anything about DRBT, but I did see that Wikipedia also doesn't use the registered trademark branding in their DRBT article. So to follow that example, how about:
"Distributed Replicated Block Device (DRBD) mirrors block devices between multiple hosts. The
replication is transparent to other applications on the host systems. Any block device hard disks,
partitions, RAID devices, logical volumes, etc can be mirrored. DRBD is developed by LINBIT."
DRBD's website is already linked directly in the references at the end of the section.
