What are your thoughts on ELv2?


Do you consider it open-source or source-available? Does your org use software with the Elastic License 2.0? For COSS (as an org/individual/contributor), do you like ELv2, or do you prefer e.g. SSPL, AGPL, or BSL?

I just switched to OpenSearch and haven't had a reason to look back. It works great, is true FOSS, and is low drama.

Events like elastic getting greedy and turning to make trouble against the very community that made them a success - it's a major turn off, and I want nothing more to do with them.

Life is too short, and already hard enough when everyone is behaving as a good actor.
