This feels like a spin? Isn't AWS biting hand that feeds them? They need a win-win strategy for open source devs. It's hard enough to compete with their version

This feels like a spin? Isn't AWS biting hand that feeds them? They need a win-win strategy for open source devs. It's hard enough to compete with their version of your service (spark, kafka) without them forking your project. what's next, are they going to fork spark and kafka?
- ryanisnan 6y agoI mean, if you're a contributor to Elasticsearch or Kibana, you now have a choice on which project you are going to make contributions to. Apart from dislike of AWS, I can't see why anyone would choose the version with the more restrictive license, which is SSPL.
- weeks 6y agoApache Spark and Apache Kafka? It doesn't seem likely that the Apache Software Foundation would consider implementing the SSPL instead of the Apache License.
- RocketSyntax 6y agoI'm saying AWS offers EMR and MSK. Which puts Databricks and Confluent in a weird spot.
