I'm curious about this line:

  As a company and a real legal entity, we would have recourse if something like AWS/Elasticsearch were to happen

What does that mean? Didn't AWS just take advantage of the terms of the license and do something they were allowed to, couldn't the same thing happen here? What recourse would there be?

I had the same thought. Elastic was a real legal entity too, and clearly they didn't have recourse...

There are a number of errors/incorrect info in this blog post. I don't mean to be critical, but I hope nobody is looking to this post for advice because it has some bad advice (such legal recourse, what different licenses achieve the objective of protecting from the concerned case (GPL doesn't)).

I read this as “we would have a way to prevent competition,” which is good for them but not users.
