Uhh, no. "Trillion dollar company BAD, think of the billion dollar company!!!". Elastic made it's business off being open source, period. If they weren't open source to begin with they wouldn't be as successful as they have been. Their whole business model initially built off the popularity of a useful open source project.

Of course, once you add-on that they've basically done to Lucene what AWS did to Elasticsearch, then the whole thing is a joke. I also just checked and Elastic are NOT sponsers of the ASF: https://www.apache.org/foundation/thanks.

Absolute garbage company in terms of open source and community. I will never willingly install their software ever again.
