I honestly don't understand how this got so out of control. First of all while there are so many contributors the vast majority of commits seem to be by elastic team members. Secondly, elastic provides a lot more than just the code. Third, they're a for profit company and have been from the beginning. So with all of that in mind to me the change seemed perfectly reasonable. Materially it doesn't really change much for anyone other than Amazon. Last year CockroachDB did the exact same thing and I don't recall anywhere near the outrage. Perhaps it might be because it's significantly less popular but everyone out on their soap boxes now surely should have been making noise then as well. Furthermore, a lot of these arguments seem to be very black and white. You either are or aren't open source. Surely there are shades. Surely the OSI definition isn't the only one. Surely being able to contribute, modify and run for your own purposes still counts for something. It really is the case that everyone wants OSS but no one wants to pay for it.
