I'm not the GP, and I don't have a dog in this fight, but I think what they are complaining about is this sequence of events:

  - ElasticSearch was open-source
  - Amazon offered ElasticSearch open-source as a paid service
  - ElasticSearch was not happy about this and changed their license
  - Amazon forked ElasticSearch (the open-source version) and created OpenSearch based on that, continuing to serve OpenSearch
  - (Few years pass)
  - Amazon and ElasticSearch are now buddies

I think GP is talking about the events that transpired a while back before Amazon and ElasticSearch made up.
