[jira] [Commented] (LEGAL-571) [Usergrid] Verify changes in Elasticsearch Licensing

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-571?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17339345#comment-17339345 ]

-------------------------------------

ASF projects can't depend on things that have a Category X license. SPPL is category X so I believe this will have an impact.

> Usergrid (usergrid.apache.org/[https://github.com/apache/usergrid)] leverages the Elasticsearch client library for interacting with the Elasticearch. Elasticsearch is a pre-requisite for running Usergrid (much like an app server requiring the use of a database). Usergrid does not embed the Elasticsearch server into its application.
> Elasticsearch has been making some licensing changes recently: [https://www.elastic.co/pricing/faq/licensing#summarize-changes]
> The licensing changes do not seem to affect the client libraries, but I wanted to consult and verify this. Usergrid source code is currently using the older Elasticsearch v1.7.5 libraries which appear to be unaffected by the licensing changes(1.7 Branch - https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/1.7/LICENSE.txt).
> Can someone help confirm that Usergrid's usage of Elasticsearch falls in-line with the correct use of the new Elasticsearch licensing? I realize that if Usergrid upgrades to newer versions of Elasticsearch or uses Elasticsearch in a different way, the license should be re-evaluated. Any other concerns or thoughts?
