I don't think elastic would've tried the license change because of competition using the open source.
The problem is Amazon, not elastic that's trying to survive.

Which ones, specifically?
What absurd, twisted logic. No, it does not affect open source. What are you talking about?

No, the problem is Elastic trying to coerce end-users to pay them for using FLOSS projects. It makes absolutely no difference if AWS provides a managed service or if I run Elasticsearch in a AWS EC2 instance I pay for.
If a corporation wants to build a business model around FLOSS, it's their responsibility to figure out how to do that. What they cannot do is abuse FLOSS licenses to pull bait-and-switch on their userbase to coerce them to meet their revenue targets.
See what I did there?
