I will never understand why Mongo and Elastic get so much hate when all the did was to try to protect themselves from AWS parasites.

I guess having yourself exploited and ultimately destroyed by monopolist overlords is the moral choice or something? Or do boots just taste good?

I am not sure if any hate is warranted, but it is true that coming up with a new license which does not comply with open source licenses, and proceeding to call it open source definitely did not help to create sympathy. There is nothing wrong with releasing something under a proprietary license but calling this license change "Doubling down on open source" is damaging.
