@kimchy the whole reason for me asking these questions is that sometimes a customer is using elasticsearch but they don't (yet) have a support contract, but don't consider themselves "in development" either, and thus wouldn't allow me to use Marvel. Yes, there are other tools for poking around, but sense is invaluable for constructing complicated queries etc quickly. In this situation they wouldn't let me install a chrome plugin either, but sense works nicely as an elasticsearch plugin too.
So, if sense (the abandoned version on github) had some kind of permissive licence, I could turn up on customer site and use sense to poke around. Ideally, it would have a licence like AL2 which would allow me to modify it if necessary. I realise that you don't want updates pushed back to the version of sense on github because those changes are helping you to make money from Marvel, I understand that. But if the abandoned version of sense did have an appropriate licence, it would allow us to use the current version - it's still useful even if it's not kept up to date. I might even be tempted to try and keep it up to date in my spare time. But clearly I can't do this unless it has a licence that allows me to do it. Glad to see I'm not the only person thinking along these lines.
