Thank you for asking.

It is usually a very bad idea for a new project
to pick a name that describes an already existing thing.
Unless they cannot possibly be confused.

I strongly suggest you rather come up with your own, unique name.

You don't want your project
to be easily confused with some product by LINBIT.

And LINBIT would not want it the other way around, either.
(Probably best to even avoid "DRBD" in the project name itself).

I know naming is hard, but I'm sure you will come up
with something nice and distinct.

Cheers,
