Open Source AGPL Added as License Option for Elasticsearch
Elastic has announced that they are adding the OSI-approved AGPL as a license option for Elasticsearch.
“We never stopped believing and behaving like an open source community after we changed the license. But being able to use the term open source, by using AGPL, an OSI-approved license, removes any questions, or fud, people might have,” says Elastic Founder and CEO Shay Banon in the announcement.
Banon says the company chose AGPL because it is a widely adopted, OSI-approved license. Additionally, he says, “We chose AGPL because we believe it’s the best way to start to pave a path, with OSI, towards more open source in the world, not less.”
