Licensing changes to Elasticsearch and Kibana

at grafana labs, we are still pretty torn on what our go forward licensing regime should be.

bsl is interesting, but license proliferation and familiarity is a big factor to consider.

now that both elastic and mongo are both using sspl, it is more appealing. i think tsl from timescale is also a great and well thought out license.

Interesting. I got the impression from the recent announcement that Grafana Labs had something of a revenue sharing model with the new AWS managed offering of Grafana. Given that, I wouldn't think the SSPL restrictions would be as important.

we do indeed have a partnership with aws around grafana. but the cloud landscape goes beyond aws, and the grafana labs landscape goes beyond grafana itself.

it's definitely a nuanced discussion internally.

I like Grafana and I wish you the best. Source-available to me is basically FOSS unless I want a free ride off your hard work.
