That's fair, I didn't look closely enough at the specific terms to make sure it conformed to my view of "open-source". I specifically disagreed with the parent comment and others, which declare that "it's not open source unless [Amazon is free to profit from the software]".
>The right to study the code running on your hardware, the right to make modifications to it, the right to distribute those modifications.
Description of the license from the linked articles:
> Rights still disallowed under Timescale License:
> No right to distribute modified Source
> No right to distribute modified Binaries, unless as part of a Value Added Product
I'm very confused on how you're reconciling your stated view on the definition of open source and the directly conflicting text of this license.
