How do you get to that 90%+ number? I.e. how do you account for installations through Linux distro repos etc (which will likely cease to be an option for most) when describing this? Only counting your downloads is an extremely disingenuous measure of use of open-source software.

And for open-source users things definitively do not "remain as they are", given even your blog post admits it's not an open-source license.

But well, not particularly surprising you don't consider such users as "your users". Disappointing, but not surprising. Good reminder to check the CLAs required by any project I consider using.

Both for DEB and RPM the packages are coming from our own registry (https://artifacts.elastic.co) and not from the Linux distributions. We also maintain our own Docker registry (and mirror that to Docker Hub though they provide some numbers). So we have a good picture about licenses, versions, operating systems,...
