The differentiator 'free as in freedom, not beer' is a great and uncontroversial litmus test for the community.

I agree no one should be religious about OSI's standards, but open source colloquially means 'open for people to modify/fork/use' - I think the FOSS movement has created a similar colloquial definition even if FSF isn't the end all be all for free software. That being said, you can make changes to your project for your business but do so on terms that the internal and external community don't find disingenuous, don't characterize those whom are upset with a withdrawal from previous promises(1) made to them as conspiring to spread misinfo, or even to have taken many in the community's suggestion for dual licensing under copyleft license and commercial license that provides a hedge against large cloud providers.ДЄnyways, if Elastic's response to going back on a promise is to gaslight their own (reasonably) begrudged customers and contributors about how the company going public shortly is the real little guy/victim, then I think most already know whether to trust their lawyers or the company.Дon't worry, I won't contribute to negative internet points, this is a substantial response.

I totally agree with the idea that a business becomes before project/idealism considerations though, if you're a company trying to finance an OSS project you need to think about your financials/survival before any licensing purity - which I don't think anyone is criticizing them about in this scenario anyways.

No, the wording in their SSPL is much more broad than that, such that creating any logging facet would put you in legal ambiguity at best - the worst case, which unfortunately now two licensing lawyers I've watched be adamant about this being the realistic interpretation in court (/dev/lawyer and one who advised our and other software companies), is that you really can't be in compliance without releasing your entire software stack. >other than that the contributors aren't allowed to directly compete with them (iirc).
