  Ponder was a data-science company (UC Berkeley RISELab) that commercialized two
  open-source Python dataframe/analytics libraries. These packages are the software
  Ponder was built on; they are community/open-source owned (modin-project, lux-org)
  rather than first-party proprietary API SDKs, so official is left false. Ponder's
  own gated commercial "ponder" package is not published on any public registry.
  Ponder was acquired by Snowflake in October 2023.
