>> That said I wish Elastic had chosen a better license and I wish they wouldn't charge for basic security options like SAML, RBAC, and encryption.

What better licenses or monetization strategy would have allowed them to charge enterprises who use it for more commercial purposes, and allow the individuals/casual users to use it for free?

AGPLv3. Off the top of my head, Grafana and RStudio already do that and seem to have had the desired result. I’m sure there are others.
