Although AWS is the least likely to do any good "for free", I tend to be on their side in this case, as Elastic used the liberal license for years to become big and famous while also "only" providing a frontend for lucene at first, if you will. And then after their plan worked out, they were like "nah, this liberal license made us big and successful, but now this software is monetized by others as its license explicitely allows. so we change it." They could have used a GPL-like license in the first place. Then this would have been a completely different story. So sorry - no sympathy for elastic, here.
elastic search is closed source because amazon literally copied it to make opensearch and started selling it.

AWS is full of it. But so's every other company. So they can be proud to lead at yet something else.
Thank you! Great Video keep it up.
Thanks :). Glad you like it!
Oracle Cloud also runs OpenSearch on their Search Service.
Aha, thanks Mark, good to know.
where did you get data from at timestamp 8:28?
@felicia6242 Check db-engines.com/en/ranking
GRRRRRRRRrrrrrr, Amazon. :( Thank you for this analysis!
You're welcome! Let us know if we can be of any help with ES or OpenSearch @deborahspeece6838
are you sure that opensearch is aws specific?
@huseyinsenol1769 OpenSearch is absolutely not AWS-specific. It's maintained/developed by AWS, but you can run OpenSearch on your own, too.
@@Sematext oh ok, you were saying "as a service". realized now
Somehow it feels that's not your voice...
Hm, but it is. :) What do you mean?
Amazon is never in the right.
@christophjasinski4804 What's making you say that?
