ElasticSearch and Kibana become free software (again)

Back in 2021, the ElasticSearch search engine and Kibana visualizationplatform were relicensed under the non-freeServer Side Public License (SSPL). Now, Elastic (the company owning thoseprojects) has announcedthat those projects will also be distributable under the Affero GPL license.

We never stopped believing and behaving like an open sourcecommunity after we changed the license. But being able to use theterm Open Source, by using AGPL, an OSI approved license, removesany questions, or fud, people might have.
