I was under the impression that they already opened the code for X-Pack features.

  Were these features licensed in such a way that you could freely use them, though? Or was it 'open' as in "you can see the code" but it's not FOSS?

    x-pack is not FOSS which is why amazon can’t use it.

      As I thought - thanks for confirming.

  Refer this thread from 2018-02 when the X-Pack licensing change was announced: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16487440 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16487440 Summary -- vague use of the word 'open' and exclusive use of free in the beer sense, led to some significant angst about what this means for end users.
