So open source means only licenses that are most favourable to the big tech monopolists now?

As a user, I can use Elasticsearch just fine with the new license. I can read the code, modify it and use in my own projects.

So it is more difficult for Amazon to use their monopolistic power to build a competing service to the one that is financing Elasticsearch development? Yeah, good stuff.

If the big tech monopolists need something under a permissive license they should pay for its development.
