I don't trust aws will do a good job with the fork. Can anyone tell me a FOSS project led by amazon that's not for accessing their services (boto)?

Now that elastic.co is going sideways, sphinxsearch (best search server experience I've had) non-foss since circa 2017, what are the good search server options for a small shop dealing wth geo search?

Manticore Search is an actively developed GPLv2 fork of Sphinxsearch since 2017 - https://manticoresearch.com/

I see this as similar to Corretto. AFAIK they have done a good job supporting Java 8 well past what Oracle is willing to do.


Corretto is explicitly not a fork, though. They take the source code from openjdk, and builds their own distribution. This is how the openjdk is meant to be used, and all parties are happy.
