I suspect there's much more than just this list, even if we just restrict
it to "major" components. On Analytics, we've had to adjust as the
following systems EOL-ed or changed licensing:
* Pivot (moved to Turnilo, a fork)
* Camus (moving to Gobblin)
* Kafka Connect

Hello,
Yes that is ElasticSearch. They have recently announced they are now
licensing code under Server Side Public License (SSPL)
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Side_Public_License> it is a viral
license which in short requires that any service based on such code get
licensed with the same license. I am not a lawyer, but I guess that would
imply that our whole stack switch to it as well. As such it is not
considered free by Debian or the Open Source Initiative (OSI).
As I understand it, the move has been made possible since all
contributions were subject to a Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contributor_License_Agreement>. So that
although the code was placed under a free license, the CLA effectively
grants unrestricted publishing right to an organization, they can thus
relicense the code however they want. If I get it right, the old code is
still under a free license but it can also be used under the new non free
license. As I get it the move has been done due to frictions with Amazon
which is providing a search service. Amazon announced they would be
behind the free community fork:
