       As of yesterday, the #LXD project is no longer part of the Linux Containers project but can now instead be found directly under Canonical's control.Please read our official statement on:https://linuxcontainers.org/lxdI personally consider Canonical's move to be a hostile act and as far as I'm concerned the decision was unilateral. It may be legally sound but it leaves a very bad taste behind.I've been involved with this project independent of what company I moved to. To see this happening is sad.

       LXD is a registered trademark of Canonical so while it would have been possible to maybe fork it, it at least wouldn't have kept its name. See https://ubuntu.com/legal/trademarksHowever, Canonical has no control of LXC, LXCFS, or https://github.com/lxcThese projects way predate Canonical.

       Apparently I'm not a maintainer of #LXD anymore and neither is @stgraber. So it seems from now on it's Canonical employees only.I'd like to point out that before Canonical moved LXD into github.com/canonical/lxd maintainership was completely independent of the company. If you went to work somewhere else you still were a maintainer. As it should be with any well-functioning OSS project.

       @brauner @stgraber Right on the heels of Red Hat setting a torch to any remaining community good will they may have had and folks have been looking to Canonical/Ubuntu.

       Just fork it then continue independent development. Since it's probably licenced under the GPL there's very little that Canonical can do to stop someone from doing that.
