When it comes to our brand, there's many people that I love in the open source community that were really upset with this change. And that hurt. Not the fact that they were upset with the change. That hurt because I made them feel like that, if that makes sense.

And that was sad for me. And there were certain companies that say that they can only use open source that stopped using us. But generally, we continue to grow as a company because the truth is that most users actually use open source software, but they don't engage with the community or contribute to...

issues or something on those lines, the portion that do I adore, and we do, we did lose some of them, sadly, because of that. And that's one of the reasons why we're back to being open source, because we want to, you know, we want to bring them back.

It wasn't a big detriment. I actually think that because now Amazon Elasticsearch got renamed to OpenSearch and Amazon OpenSearch, then it's much easier for us and for our users to know what do they use and then evaluate as one versus the other. You know what I mean? It's Elasticsearch versus OpenSearch. you know, figure this out.

Like we had with Solar, like we have with Splunk, like we have, you know, with other products, it doesn't matter. And I think that's totally fair. I do think also that open source is also great for when new markets get created. And you have the hush puppies users, you know, the leaders, the new ones that start to experiment with types of software.

And I've been thinking about open source, getting back to open source for more than a year now, personally. But certainly something that helped make that decision is the rise of vector databases in the Gen AI space. Because I thought that being able to say Elasticsearch and open source vector database is an important thing to say.

So that definitely helped in the decision to get back to open source.

It's not as strong. There's, there's, you know, there's like so much in open source, you know, like there, there's so much beauty and romantic aspects and history and in just in these two words that they encapsulate so much, you know? And it's like, and I love it. It's like, that's that. Yeah. Yeah.

I think it's fair that there's more companies changing the license today because they're really worried about cloud vendors. And, you know, it's funny to me that there's not more of, hey, this is real pain that you're feeling. Startups, you know, I developed Elasticsearch in my free time in my living room. You know what I mean? It's like... And somehow, I don't know, maybe it's human nature.

I find it funny that people take the side of Amazon in this case. I found it hilarious. But I think there's real fear. And we need to acknowledge the fear. And if the outcome that we want is more open source in the world, why do these companies change it? It's not because they IPO'd.
