I imagine AWS can't put it on the headers of their managed service, and that's what it's about.

AWS has a compatibility mode that allows your cluster to report its version as 7.10.

same thing nintendo did on old consoles: the "DRM" was requiring the cartridge to display a nintendo logo at start-up. so if you included that, you could get sued.

my guess is because it's "X-Elastic-Product" you'd be falsely "saying" your product is made by Elastic, the company so they could sue over it.

I believe Elasticsearch is a trademark.

Are HTTP headers important or even relevant at all for branding trademark purposes?

Such a concern seems utterly ridiculous.

If it really does work this way, then we're all doomed.

If its use is so widespread, then it's probably no longer a trademark, in that context at least.

A trademark does not forbid people from using a name, it only restricts how it can be used in marketing. I do not see how that would be applicable here.
