Here's the actual language from SSPL
> If you make the functionality of the Program or a modified version available to third parties as a service... (license conditions apply)
> “The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License.
IANAL, but that seems pretty cut and dry referring to making an Elasticsearch or Kibana service, not like a GPL kind of "anything that touches this gets the license"

I've had a different experience with IP lawyers and these licenses where they ask "Are you going to build X as a service". We say "No." Then they say "well there's nothing to worry about"
