Lots of negativity in this thread. Can we take just a bit of time to appreciate this. Thank you Elastic folks!


What are we appreciating exactly?


Maybe a ridiculous writing style for a blog post about software licensing?


Came here looking whether anyone else found the weird teenager writing style getting on the way of the real message.


I was wondering what the fuck was going on and whether this was internal community meme or style that I just wasn't aware of. Turns out it's just cringey corporate goons being cringey corporate goons.


Elastic being flexible


More like Elastic panicking when they realized the traction OpenSearch is getting at a number of companies.


Being flexible is kinda the point of an elastic.


> We've altered the license terms. Pray we don't alter them any further.

It's hard to not be sceptical about their motivation.
