Right. But the point here wasn't that Amazon is doing something wrong in respect to the license. They release their modifications to Elastic, and they could theoretically release whatever "functionality" is required to "interact with the functionality of the Program".
What was being argued was that it was ethically wrong of Amazon to engage in this business without some sort of blessing from (and, one would imagine, revenue sharing with) the original developers. Under that argument, their misdoing isn't releasing too little, but doing the work in the first place.
