First release of elastic was Feb 2010. AWS launched in March, 2006. The folks at 10gen used the AGPL for MongoDB since Feb, 2009. Yeah nobody could've seen this coming.

In fact, Elastic new license was created by Mongo.

It wouldn't surprise me if that license in a few years don't get nicknamed "Mongo's license"
