Does not being able to call itself Elasticsearch make a fork inoperable? I don't think wanting to protect a brand they've been investing in for years is unreasonable.
Don't get me wrong. It would be great if Elastic, Redis and co didn't have to do this (change license) but AWS does pose an existential threat to their business models long term. I'd rather a standardised, so there's less fear around interpretations, more restrictive license than the businesses and _future_ ones becoming unviable.
