Re:Amazon: Not OK – Why we had to change Elastic licensing by finikytou on Wednesday January 20, 2021 @08:45AM (#25846327)
Your argument that Elastic could have released ES closed source and did us a favor is not a valid one.

They released ES open source so that they could leverage the community + an open source tool (lucene) to build their tool and later on their company.

If not for the open source they would be just a random actor in search and SOLR would likely be a better tool than it is now.

Also by your logic elastic did to lucene what aws did to elastic...
