...and now, just a couple weeks later, Elasticsearch has announced that they're open source again under AGPL. Impeccable timing.

@kevin I wonder what the chances are that someone at #Elastic still cares about #Wikipedia. Surely this move was in preparation for a while, but why now? Probably it has something to do with yesterday's earnings report, which sent their shares down 30 %. ir.elastic.co/news/news-detail

@kevin And now we wait for Redis to decide rolling back on licensing as soon as Wikimedia decides to move to Valkey or Redict.
