Hi, just a heads up for everyone interested in seeing Kibana (and maybe ElasticSearch) in Debian:
The license for Kibana and ElasticSearch is changing: https://www.elastic.co/de/blog/licensing-change Citing from this page: > Moving to the dual license strategy with SSPL or the Elastic License > is a natural next step for us after opening our commercial code and > creating a free tier, all under the Elastic License, nearly 3 years > ago. It is similar to those made by many other open source companies > over these years, including MongoDB, which developed the SSPL. The > SSPL allows free and unrestricted use, as well as modification, with > the simple requirement that if you provide the product as a service, > you must also publicly release any modifications as well as the > source code of your management layers under SSPL. And this SSPL is exactly what caused MongoDB to be removed from Debian as it is considered non-free. See these bug reports, especially the first one, for details: https://bugs.debian.org/915537 (ftp.debian.org: MongoDB SSPL v1 license and the DFSG) https://bugs.debian.org/916107 (MongoDB should not be part of a stable release) https://bugs.debian.org/947743 (RM: mongodb -- RoQA; rc-buggy; un-upgreadable due to license issues; …) The same happened with MongoDB in RedHat Enterprise Linux: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/8.0_release_notes/rhel-8_0_0_release#BZ-1647908 Regards, Axel -- ,''`. | Axel Beckert <a...@debian.org>, https://people.debian.org/~abe/ : :' : | Debian Developer, ftp.ch.debian.org Admin `. `' | 4096R: 2517 B724 C5F6 CA99 5329 6E61 2FF9 CD59 6126 16B5 `- | 1024D: F067 EA27 26B9 C3FC 1486 202E C09E 1D89 9593 0EDE
