Elastic was suing them for trademark breach. Hosting didn't bother them - it is FOSS. Lying that they were in partnership with Elastic did.

  >Hosting didn't bother them - it is FOSS. They literally changed the license to one that's only different in not allowing people to host it the way Amazon did.

    Precisely to fence off Amazon from using their Open Source with their Name on it?

      The new license does not say "X applies if you use our name". It says "X applies if you use our source code under any name."

  That's the interesting thing to me, why they were so openly dishonest about it. https://twitter.com/Werner/status/649738362086027265 https://twitter.com/Werner/status/649738362086027265 --- Introducing the Amazon Elasticsearch service, a great partnership between @elastic and #AWS --- How was it a "great partnership" if one side didn't even know about it...

    AFAIK, that tweet from Vogel is the only time someone representing AWS claimed to have a partnership with Elastic. He was wrong, but I don't think it's fair calling it "dishonest."
