At
the start of 2021, a familiar OSS talking point reared its head when Elastic revealed that it was transitioning its
database search engine Elasticsearch, alongside the Kibana visualization dashboard, from an open source Apache 2.0 license to a duo of proprietary "source available" licenses. The move was a long time coming, and it followed a host of other formerly "open source" companies that made similar switches to protect their business interests.
With the dust now mostly settled in the wake of
Elastic's relicensing, VentureBeat talked to cofounder and CEO Shay Banon to get his thoughts on why Elastic made the license change; what impact — if any — it has had on the business, and what being a "free and open" company (vs. "open source") really means.

digital twins are complementary approaches for riffing on real-world data to improve AI and product design. Synthetic data tools generate labeled data for training AI from a small subset of real data. Digital twins generate "what-if" scenarios for evaluating various performance, cost, and sustainability trade-offs.
Digital twins could help extend synthetic data tools to support real-world digital transformation in construction, medicine, and supply chains. Conversely, synthetic data could help teams using digital twins simulate different scenarios more efficiently. Such as for the following:
- Improved decision-making
- Urban planning
- Generating new scenarios
- Personalized medicine
- Surface supply chain problems

application security, it's hard to miss the discussion right now around the concept of DevSecOps — and its companion phrase, "shift left." The arrival of the widespread Apache Log4j
vulnerability has only increased the buzz.
But that doesn't mean everyone is talking about the same thing, says Doug Dooley, chief operating officer at application security vendor, Data Theorem. An effective
DevSecOps strategy isn't actually about bringing security to developers, according to Dooley. "It's about security teams having more of a DevOps mindset— not DevOps having more of a security mindset," he told VentureBeat.
"The thing that makes DevSecOps programs fail is when a security person finds an exploit and then calls a meeting about it," Dooley explained.
