Wasn't Elasticsearch initially 100% FOSS and you were allowed to sell it as a service? Where is the "unfairly benefiting" part coming from?
- BoorishBears 3y agoAmazon lied about partnering with Elastic, stole Elastic's closed source extensions by proxy, and used Elasticsearch's trademarked name without permission FOSS doesn't mean you can steal their name, even in the purest forms of open source. And the irony is AWS has mountains of closed source components that would benefit others to actually productize "OpenSearch". Under SSPL Amazon would be able to serve Elasticsearch... if they were willing to walk the walk and open source the stuff that enables their orchestration.
