Your point is a bit moot if you consider that elasticsearch is built on top of an opensource project (lucene) for which they never gave any money. Also Antirez wasn't part of Redis for a significant amount of time.
Bottom line: the company that own the brand of any open source project and receive money from support or features may not be constituted of the original authors nor is necessarily comprised of all the dev who have put a significant amount of work into it.
- xorcist 1y agoWhile the general idea is right, maybe it's not the best example. Elastic did contribute quite a bit of code to Lucene to the point where it almost looked like a project of Elastic NV. It seems however the Apache Lucene project managed to stay untainted by it and is by any measure a very healthy and functioning open source project.
