> outright attempts to splinter our community with “open” repackaging of our OSS products

That make it sound like packaging together the open source core with some third party plugins that could be used in place of proprietary plugins from Elastic was somehow some evil plot to destroy the community. Was the goal of the package to increase the bottom line of a company other than Elastic? Probably. Was the goal to splinter a community from which said company profits? Probably not.




I think the licensing change is more likely to fracture the community than a third party distribution.
