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

term Open Source, by using AGPL, an OSI approved license, removes
any questions, or fud, people might have.
