Title isn't quite right: "As was the case with Java and OpenJDK, our intention is not to fork Elasticsearch, and we will be making contributions back to the Apache 2.0-licensed Elasticsearch upstream project as we develop add-on enhancements to the base open source software."

Unless they assume every enhancement they put in their, uh, "not a fork" repo will make it upstream, unaltered, it's a fork.

That seems inevitable to me. There's probably something eventually that either isn't wanted by Elastic, or wanted...but implemented in some different way.
