OK, some thoughts on the @elastic announcement and their move away from #opensource and the @TheASF license. A thread... ok a #rant. #search #elasticsearch
First these views are not those of the WMF, my employer, who happens to run a very large Elasticsearch cluster. Moreover, I competed with Elastic for a number of years as co-founder/CTO of @lucidworks and am a #lucene and #solr committer, so yeah, I'm biased.
I have a huge amount of respect for what Shay and others at Elastic built. Right time, right place, right execution across the board, esp. in those early years. But this blog post (elastic.co/blog/why-licen…) is such typical corporate BS and so full of holes.
