Summary
AGPL, an OSI approved license, removes any questions, or fud, people might have. We never stopped believing in Open Source at Elastic. I’m going on 25 years and counting as a true believer.
If you already use and enjoy Elasticsearch, please carry on, nothing changed. For others, you now have the option to choose AGPL as well.
Elasticsearch is back to being Open Source. Yay! What a wonderful thing to say. What a great day. Elasticsearch is always thinking long term, and this change is part of it.
