They get a lot of credit in my book for keeping it open and not hiding anything behind enterprise / non free components. I think Elasticsearch for example left a bad taste in people’s mouths by adding enterprise only features for something as crucial as security features and mixed their OSS core with it.
Basically they’ve kept collateral damage to a minimum as far as I can tell, where as others haven’t.
- jkaplowitz 7y agoThey're still having enterprise features. The formerly open source core is now using this new non-free (in the sense of FSF or Debian free software guidelines) license, but they are not dropping their enterprise add-on.
- tybit 7y agoThat’s disappointing, thanks for the clarification.
