Dan, thanks for handling this in a polite way.
I’ve witnessed and heard about worse moves than this to promote projects and products. The cloud native space is pretty crowded and people are looking for an edge. Some will try to game the system. Some will push the limit in marketing. At the least, we can be polite and first approach people in a kind manner. I prefer to start from Hanlon’s razor.

I wasn't clear - I was thinking about the criteria the CNCF has for adding projects to the landscape (where one of the criteria is some number of github stars, if I recall correctly).

Liz,
Isn't there a challenge that folks who may want to "game" will not use the new system as it does not show the "inflated" numbers that they currently use?
Thanks,
Dims

Maybe we (or GitHub) could build some kind of “realstars” count which only counts stars from folks who have also done some number of other activities (raising PRs or issues, making comments, maybe even just filling in their profile...)

While I’m not a lawyer, I wonder if this violates the trademark rules. https://www.linuxfoundation.org/trademark-usage/ states:
Do not use a logo of The Linux Foundation on posters, brochures, signs, websites, or other marketing materials to promote your events, products or services without written permission from The Linux Foundation.

The site doesn't say "applied for CNCF and was rejected". This is an
example of "lying by omission". It is not OK.

+1 – feels like an inappropriate use of the logo. @Dan Kohn – anything we can do to stop that?

While not "technically" incorrect, I understand what Alexis is saying; it seems like unethical wording used intentionally to cause inferences towards being CNCF supported/approved/certified.
IIRC, they did try to become a CNCF project and had no sponsors.
A quick Google shows that they're using this "endorsement" actively in their marketing campaigns:
