Truly Doubling Down on Open Source

Elastic's decision to change the licensing of Elasticsearch and Kibana from the open-source Apache-2.0 to a proprietary dual license under SSPL has sparked significant consternation within the open-source community, particularly among organizations dependent on these projects. In response, Logz.io, a company with substantial expertise in Kibana and Elasticsearch, plans to launch a new open-source distribution for these tools, aiming to keep them community-driven and under the Apache-2 license. This initiative seeks to foster collaboration, innovation, and service to the broader community, countering Elastic's move, which is perceived as a strategy to block competition, particularly from AWS, and monetize the ecosystem. Logz.io emphasizes its commitment to providing a superior observability platform, supporting the open-source ethos, and maintaining customer trust by advocating for open-source software's future.
