Moving Apollo Federation 2 to the Elastic License v2
This means this project is abandoning open source and free software, as the Elastic License is not an open source license.<p>&gt; <i>The Apollo developer community is at the heart of everything we do. As stewards of our community, we have a responsibility to prevent harm from anyone who intends to exploit our work without contributing back. We want to continue serving you by funding the development of important open-source graph technology for years to come. To honor that commitment, we’re moving Apollo Federation 2 to the Elastic License v2 (ELv2).</i><p>One of these things can&#x27;t be true.<p>It&#x27;s really disheartening to see fake-open-source projects like this tout &quot;the community&quot; without realizing that taking software freedoms away (which is what this not-open-source license does) is ultimately an antisocial move.  Being able to run a business off of a private fork of the <i>software you gave away</i> is not a bug, it&#x27;s a feature.  It&#x27;s not exploiting anyone.<p>There are lot of fake open source people and companies around now.  Docker Desktop, for example, isn&#x27;t even source available.<p>Similarly, I personally view the AGPL as a nonfree license, although it&#x27;s being pushed by anticapitalist zealots at the FSF who of course invented the notion of software freedom in the first place so my classification is, of course, controversial.
