Hi again, a lot of things and discussions are currently happening around the license change of ElasticSeach and Kibana. Some of those are probably also interesting in this context of packaging work of Kibana:

That application process got withdrawn by the license steward from MongoDB due to mainly negative feedback: http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2019-March/003989.html But Elastic's move to SSPL seems to have triggered an explicit statement of the OSI on the SSPL: https://opensource.org/node/1099 — And the headline is quite clear: "The SSPL is Not an Open Source License" That statement sparked quite some discussion on Twitter: https://twitter.com/OpenSourceOrg/status/1351605387347324929 Regards, Axel -- ,''`. | Axel Beckert <[email protected]>, https://people.debian.org/~abe/ : :' : | Debian Developer, ftp.ch.debian.org Admin `. `' | 4096R: 2517 B724 C5F6 CA99 5329 6E61 2FF9 CD59 6126 16B5 `- | 1024D: F067 EA27 26B9 C3FC 1486 202E C09E 1D89 9593 0EDE
