Comment on Show HN: Open-source OAuth service for 40+ APIsparent

aws could just change their name and avoid that.

But if you say Amazon or any of their subsidiaries. They are not going to rename Amazon to add 1 product to aws.

The wording is indeed difficult; for my taste to be something not considered abuse, it would need to be integrated in a bespoke product where it offers less than 5% of said products functionality. However that would allow aws. But I think it can be rewritten or added on-to by saying something like that it cannot be offered as a distinct service meaning you cannot say ‘we offer a search engine, here is elastic’; it can be a nocode product which allows you to add search and search apis from elastic by clicking them together if that nocode product also allows for many other features not offered in elastic. So some way to convey it needs to be integrated and not just a copy you can spin up.

However, that would be difficult and convoluted and hard to fight. That’s why I was thinking about adding mandatory FTEs if you use it to make money. That type of thing would simply have the aws lawyers not sign off using it.
