Stop making pre-built VyOS images public #8

Dear Naoki, I understand that your idea to provide pre-built VyOS LTS release images is well-intentioned. However, that is against the terms and conditions of our name and artwork — and against the best interests of the project as well.

VyOS is free software and we keep the LTS release built procedure simple to allow everyone who wants to make images for their own use can do that. The keyword is for their own use.

The name "VyOS" is a registered trademark, and our artwork is "all rights reserved", just like with RedHat or Firefox. We do not allow distributing images under the name "VyOS" and with our artwork without an explicit permission — for the same reasons as RedHat and Mozilla. Unauthorized third-parties distributing them create a reputation risk for us and lead to people contacting us about issues in third-party builds.

You have two options:

  1. Remove all pre-built images from this repository.
  2. Distribute images with your branding, without the name "VyOS" and our artwork anywhere in user-visible parts.

If you don't comply, we will report you to GitHub.

Please note that we aren't asking you to remove the repository itself — it can stay here as a quick start solution for people who want to start building images for their own use. Our only concern is the pre-built images that you keep in releases.

I see that no action was taken. This is the last friendly reminder to comply with the request voluntarily.

Hello,

Thanks for raising the issue.

It has been dealt with, the ISO image has been deleted and the distribution has been stopped.
I will continue as it works as a sample for GitHub Actions.

Could you please close the issue if the action is what you want?
