Elastic vs AWS has been an interesting saga. Elastic has an Open Source product and tries to monetize a hosted service. AWS competes with them with their Elastic’s code.

Elastic changes their OSS license & now Amazon is forking the project.
Ruthless. https://t.co/t5UZruypwN
Elastic wanted to be paid for their work on ElasticSearch, Amazon forks the last open source version instead. https://t.co/LZtRJ9sN4E

When we announced the change, we sadly expected this. This what made it so hard. But I am also relieved. Relieved we are free to focus on products vs. battle abuse. Relieved that I can trust our community will see through this misinformation & confusion https://t.co/wIxiYnL5Ca https://t.co/bj5lQ91Cbn

AWS creating a fork of Elastic was the obvious endgame when they first created OpenDistro. Their move isn't surprising at all and I don't find it in the least bit objectionable. A thread.. https://t.co/GE79kVnSfb

New: Elastic's decision to change the licenses on two of its open-source projects appears to have backfired, with AWS announcing plans to fork both projects under its wing. Here's the backstory on Elasticsearch and open source in the cloud era:https://t.co/9vT7LJwCUS

Unsurprised. Not like AWS couldn't afford continuing the development of this. I think @elastic will live to regret this decision
This is a big moment for open source, and not a healthy one https://t.co/T6cDCiDT4j

"Despite Elastic’s repeated assertions that what AWS had been doing [forking #Elasticsearch] was 'NOT OK,' what was even more 'NOT OK,' it seems, was the closing off of a previously open source project."--@rwwmike @thenewstack https://t.co/V2TOStqbwI #OpenSource

You should not believe that Elastic changed their license for other reasons than to maximize their profits.

現役で広く使われるOSSがライセンス変更により非OSS化しそれに応じて利用側の大手がフォークするというOSSの歴史に残る事例がまたできましたね。

This is good, forking is what Open Source is about, and Elasticsearch and Kibana should be forked ASAP, while adoption for current OSS versions is still high.https://t.co/IwkkH9q9XI
I have no opinion to state on the whole Elastic/AWS licensing brouhaha, but I have to quibble with this post describing @jenkinsci as having forked. That's just not true: I was the lead negotiator, so I should know that Hudson renamed to Jenkins. https://t.co/HhWGk5PVw0

here we go, the inevitable fork from AWS. https://t.co/s5XpcU0mpT - lets get it out of the way up front: this is what they had to do, and it's no surprise their doing it. They don't deserve a super hero cape for it, but its the right thing for their customers and the community

I've greatly admired the Elastic people and what they achieved, but this latest announcement from AWS depicts a more sensible future for the OSS community I love.
