That’s the curse and blessing of open source I guess?
I have billion dollar companies running my oss software without giving me anything - but do I gripe about it in public forums? Yea maybe sometimes but it never helps to improve the situation.
It's the curse of permissively licensed open source. Copyleft is not the answer to everything but against companies leeching and not giving back it is effective.
Well we had this conversation but once you change the license to something like that you lose the trust of the oss community instantly and as elasticsearch etc. show it also doesn’t really help with monetisation
No it’s totally different from this case - but the software is a super important part of their stack - if it were to stop working they can shut down their business

Are they a wrapper with a similar name? You, like I, do gripe in public forums.

The similar name in this case doesn’t originate in the wrapped thing either.
Welcome to open source.
