How Open Source Projects Handle Licensing Conflicts with Forks

In Episode 128 of Open Source with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into the messy, often heated world of open source licensing disputes involving forks. They center the conversation on the Elasticsearch vs. AWS fork battle of 2021, where Elastic changed its license to SSPL, prompting Amazon to fork the project as OpenSearch. The hosts dissect the legal tactics, community fallout, and what it means for developers choosing between a project and its fork today. They also touch on the recent HashiCorp BSL change and Boundary fork. A concrete, no-fluff look at how licensing conflicts reshape open source ecosystems.
