- Hamcha 4y agoProbably meant "Source available" since neither Elasticsearch code licenses are "Open source" (going by OSI approval).
- petabite 4y agoWe're not really talking licenses here. The very definition of "open source", according to OSI, is: "Open source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify, and enhance." Elasticsearch meets the above definition. The permissiveness of the modification and enhancement is a different topic.
