Reminder that Amazon is the good guy and Elastic is the bad guy here. Elastic changed their license from a FOSS one to a proprietary one, and Amazon's fork is a FOSS continuation of the last version before the change. Yes, Amazon is evil in a lot of ways, but there's nothing even remotely evil about what they did here. And yes, Elastic had a legitimate problem that their old license was open to abuse, but the right way to fix that is the AGPL, not going full proprietary.
