Not everyone has a legal department.
If I'm an independent contractor who wants to sell my ElasticSearch expertise as a service, namely by charging to setup and maintain ES instances on behalf of others, am I compliant with ElasticSearch's newfangled non-free license? Or am I "Amazon" in this context? Judging by how Elastic themselves describe their license[1], it looks a heck of a lot like I'm "Amazon" as far as they're concerned, since my labor would take the form of a "managed service" - never mind that my annual income is several orders of magnitude less than Amazon's, and probably would continue to be such even assuming my services sell like hotcakes.
