The README said Cloudberry evolves from "the open-source version of the Pivotal Greenplum Database". That is inaccurate: Pivotal was acquired by VMware in 2019, before Cloudberry was forked in 2022, and "Pivotal Greenplum" named the commercial distribution rather than the open-source project.

Refer to it as "the open-source Greenplum® Database" instead, without a company name or version. Also place the registered-trademark sign right after "Greenplum" in both mentions in the introduction, using the plain U+00AE character without the trailing emoji variation selector (U+FE0F).
