It's pretty simple: a substantial percentage (a substantial majority I'd wager) of people in the tech community consider the OSD[1] from the Open Source Initiative[2] to be the de-facto (as opposed to "de jure") definition of what it means to be "Open Source". Along with that, it's generally held that licenses with prohibitions like the Elastic License violate some combination of planks 1, 5, or 6 of the OSD. Now all of this is debatable, and the OSD isn't anything legally binding, but it is widely acknowledge and respected. [1]: https://opensource.org/osd [2]: https://opensource.org/ |
