ES has to provide a much better service to win. Amazon can use their market power and vendor lock in to drive adoption of a worse service and squeeze out a better ES.

Network effects are great for behemoths but not so good for consumers.

This is a job for antitrust, not licensing.

It sure would be nice if the DOJ in an administration sponsored by Amazon can be relied upon to prosecute an antitrust against Amazon.

I'm skeptical though.

Well, it's actually a job for Elastic, since their primary concern is ensuring that they continue to turn a profit. But I'm certainly not opposed to antitrust.
