For anyone wanting some further reading, I find the recent discussions on Elastic's change from Apache-2.0 to Elastic licenses interesting reading (elastic.co/blog/elastic-license-v2 and many other discussions/articles).

Basically the move away from Apache-2.0 license addresses managed solutions of their product being offered to others (and this explains a bit of why Apache-2.0 licensed code is appealing to large businesses like Amazon AWS)
