Elastic forced the fork. AWS was contributing and complying with the license. Why should AWS not be allowed to make insane profits off open source?

- dodobirdlord 6y agoAWS was entirely within their rights to do what they did. If Elastic wanted AWS to stop, they just had to re-license their software. Which they have now done. If AWS wants to continue to offer the latest version of ES then they simply have to comply with the new licensing terms. Nobody has done anything wrong or unreasonable, or “forced” anyone to do anything, though it was perhaps not in Elastic’s best interest to have offered ES under the original license.
- JarlUlvi 6y agoWith as much profit as AWS was making on ELK they should have commits up the wazoo. Instead, crickets. > That's 9 PRs vs, as someone pointed out below, roughly 41000 commits in the project.
