I think one part of the problem is that we don't have a comprehensive
catalog of our dependencies and their dependencies (and so on). Having such
list helps us understand hidden patterns in our infra ("we are depending
too much on facebook products") or try to reduce complexities by
harmonizing them (
)
At least having a structured catalog is a good starting point IMHO.

I suspect there's much more than just this list,
even if we just restrict
it to "major" components. On Analytics, we've had to adjust as the
following systems EOL-ed or changed licensing:
* Pivot (moved to Turnilo, a fork)
* Camus (moving to Gobblin)
* Kafka Connect

Hello,
Yes that is ElasticSearch. They have recently announced they are now
licensing code under Server Side Public License (SSPL)
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Side_Public_License> it is a viral
license which in short requires that any service based on such code get
licensed with the same license. I am not a lawyer, but I guess that would
imply that our whole stack switch to it as well. As such it is not
considered free by Debian or the Open Source Initiative (OSI).
As I understand it, the move has been made possible since all
contributions were subject to a Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contributor_License_Agreement>. So that
although the code was placed under a free license, the CLA effectively
grants unrestricted publishing right to an organization, they can thus
relicense the code however they want. If I get it right, the old code is
still under a free license but it can also be used under the new non free
license. As I get it the move has been done due to frictions with Amazon
which is providing a search service. Amazon announced they would be
behind the free community fork:
