Elastic has chosen to use the AGPL (Affero General Public License) instead of the permissive Apache 2.0 license it used previously. The AGPL has greater restrictions, requiring any derivative software to be released under the same AGPL license. This decision allows Elastic to call itself open source again, as the AGPL is recognized as an open source license by the Open Source Initiative (OSI).
