>> There is something wrong in what amazon is doing. Not legally, but morally. > There is nothing wrong with what Amazon is doing ethically. You're responding to something he didn't say, and it's telling. He was referring to morals; you're talking about ethics. There's a difference, and it matters. MOST of the discussion on this issue seems to miss this distinction, and what the difference implies, and that's telling too. As someone else pointed out above, Amazon owes the entirety of it's BAZILLION-dollar AWS business to open source. You'd think they could find it in their hearts to acquiesce to a simple request that they not muddy the waters around Elastic's registered trademark. That was immoral. Everything else that has now followed, whether legal or ethical, is based on an immorality.
