Quote from the Elastic response [1]:
"Our products were forked, redistributed and rebundled so many times I lost count. It is a sign of success and the reach our products have. From various vendors, to large Chinese entities, to now, Amazon. There was always a "reason", at times masked with fake altruism or benevolence. None of these have lasted. They were built to serve their own needs, drive confusion, and splinter the community."
They're saying Amazon "forked, redistributed and rebundled" just to "to serve their own needs, drive confusion, and splinter the community". That's all BS, except the "serve their own needs", which the license that Elastic has chosen (and benefited from) explicitly grants.
