Amazon is working on a fully open version that you can fork, edit and host yourself. Elastic closed their product and is changing their client libraries to not support the open version. In fact, this whole thing started because Elastic got envious of Amazons revenue, which is not quite the open source spirit.
I mean, I get why Elastic is not happy. But in this case, neither intent is pure, but at least the result on the Amazon side is.

Indeed. Amazon may be doing the right thing for the wrong reasons, but that's still better than doing the wrong thing for the wrong reasons, which is what Elastic did.
