ElasticSearch has announced a return to open source, transitioning to the AGPL license. This move reverses their 2021 decision to adopt a dual license model due to concerns about AWS's business practices. The shift signals a potential end to the recent trend of companies moving away from open source and could indicate a market shift. Despite positive sentiments from open-source enthusiasts, the company's stock has dropped by 25% in after-hours trading.

ElasticSearch returning to open source is a big deal.
