Competitors were quick to strike. One Amazon employee, now considering changing roles to stay remote, told Insider they received a recruiting email from Facebook the day after the announcement. A few days later, an Oracle cloud vice president wrote a recruiting message on LinkedIn with a message targeting Amazon employees. I know a lot of you relocated to lower cost/higher lifestyle locations during the pandemic and are anxious about the return to downtown, Ross Brown, Oracle s vice president of global trade management for the cloud, wrote on LinkedIn. If you are in a cloud role and interested in remaining remote, Oracle is not returning to offices at scale and allowing remote work as our normative model.

Elastic announced in January that it would no longer offer its Elasticsearch or Kibana software under the Apache 2.0 license, a standard set of terms and conditions for how open source software use. Instead, users had to choose either its Elastic License or the Server Side Public License, a software license created by the database company MongoDB.
The company said it made this change to protect its code from Amazon Web Services, though it sparked criticism in the developer community for muddying the waters of the open source software movement and left many developers feeling frustrated or confused.
After weeks of planning, Elastic introduced a second version of its Elastic License on Tuesday that is more straightforward and permissive than its previous one, though it still has certain use limitations.

Amazon Web Services has responded to Elastic adopting more-restrictive software licenses by simply forking the latter s Elasticsearch and Kibana products with an open-source license.
This basically means developers have a choice: use software developed by Elastic that has a somewhat limited license, or an open-source offshoot developed by a gigantic technology company that also offers it as the Amazon Elasticsearch Service in the cloud.
Last week, Elastic announced it will drop the open-source Apache 2.0 licence for its ElasticSearch and Kibana projects, and instead use the non-open-source Server Side Public License (SSPL) and Elastic licence in a dual-licensing approach. It said it may add provisions to have the code revert to the Apache 2.0 licence after a period of up to five years.
