 ElasticSearch and Kibana become free software (again)

Back in 2021, the ElasticSearch search engine and Kibana visualization
platform https://lwn.net/Articles/843274/
 under the non-free
Server Side Public License (SSPL).  Now, Elastic (the company owning those
projects) has https://www.elastic.co/blog/elasticsearch-is-open-source-again

that those projects will also be distributable under the Affero GPL license.


	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.
