»Today Elastic announced that they are changing the license of both Elasticsearch and Kibana from the open source Apache v2 license to Server Side Public License (SSPL). «

Dasselbe Problem existiert nicht nur mit ES und Kibana, sondern praktisch mit jedem Dienst, den Amazon in AWS bereitstellt und nicht selbst entwickelt hat.
Andere Firmen sind hier nur Kollateralschaden.
Schade.
behauptet, das Problem sei nicht AWS ("they would have invested the resources to build stronger communities around them", "They would have reached out to Amazon, encouraged them to contribute back to the projects", …)
So sehr, daß die Weiterentwicklung von MySQL dadurch behindert wird: Projekte können MySQL 8 nicht voraussetzen, weil "kein MySQL 8 Auroa existiert"

Changes in MySQL 5.7.12 (2016-04-11, General Availability)
2016, im April. Yay.
In den letzten 15 Jahren hat sich in der IT aber so einiges verändert - inzwischen sind alle Systeme verteilte Systeme, und viele Dinge werden "... aaS" angeboten.
Die AGPL war ein Versuch, die GPL upzudaten.
Zudem sind viele Projekte dazu übergegangen, unreinere Lizenzen zu verwenden - Apache Licencse, BSD License oder "Do whatever the fuck you want, but don't sue me" Varianten.

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.
The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.
This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.
The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."
This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
If everyone was holding bitcoin on the old x86 in their parents basement, we would be finding a price bottom. The problem is the risk is all pooled at a few brokerages and a network of rotten exchanges with counter party risk that makes AIG circa 2008 look like a good credit.
