To be honest, I'm very happy. I don't know if we'll describe rug pull, but I'll go with it.

Yeah. Whether you like it or not, it is rug pull.

Yeah. Whether you like it or not, it is rug pull.

So I'm very excited. And I think as someone that has been in the open source world for, gosh, 28 years now or 25 years or something like that, I love open source. And I think having less open source in the world is bad and having more open source in the world is good.

And I think... I hope that what we do at Elastic will help change some trajectories that we've seen happen with other companies and cause for having more open source in the world versus less.

I was always saying that that's probably the hardest decision that I've ever made at Elastic. So that was a really tough decision. And like any tough decisions, you don't come to it lightly. Like you understand the implications, you understand the impact. Also, just on a personal level, it's like the open source has been a big part of my life.

I was trying to calculate back like how many hours I worked on open source while I had another job. And I think I was... Since 2004 or 5, I've been basically working like 30 to 40 hours a week just on open source, whether I had a job or not. When I didn't have a job, I would work more. And that's a lot. And I do it because I love it. I do it because I cherish it. I love the community aspect.

I love the engagement. I love building software that is accessible by so many users. Yeah, yeah, I love it. So that was a really tough decision. It also, it took time to get to it, you know, because you always hope, kind of like hope that somehow you won't have to do it.

And hopefully, I don't know, Amazon will change the name of Amazon Elasticsearch or somehow it managed to work some sort of like an agreement with Amazon or something on those lines. But...

When it gets to a point where so many users just confuse, either because they think you work with Amazon, either because they think that Amazon Elasticsearch is Elasticsearch or your cloud service or something along those lines, that we felt like we had to just go and change the license so it will force a change of name and a clear distinction between the two products.

That was not there. I wish that we didn't have to do it. I wish that there would have been another way to solve it. And I know a lot of people have a lot of ideas on Twitter on how this could have been solved. Oh, yes. But I can tell you that as someone that was one of the hardest decisions, if not the hardest decision that I've ever made, we tried a lot of them.
