A quick note that the "open source" license they use requires activation and license keys that block feature activations in the "open source" software be preserved.

This license was popular w folks like apollo who arguably hijacked nearly 700 contributors efforts w a license like this. Because they are using it from start at least that won't be as bad

Which Apollo are you talking about? Only one I know is Apollo GraphQL, and their main server package seems to be MIT, so I must be looking at the wrong thing. What's the story?


Apollo GraphQL is not MIT. Their Gateway, federation libraries, and all versions of router are under a Elastic License v2.

As I mentioned, their main GraphQL server package is[1], so that's where the confusion came from. Thanks.

It's not an open source license. Maybe that's why the quotes but let's not indulge them in their lies.
