Is it allowed to distribute ElasticSearch as a part of an application?

Welcome
It's true that you can freely use all the Basic-licensed features yourself and within your company, but you were asking about using some Basic-licensed features in a "product", and I think the answer there is a bit more complicated since it depends on the nature of that product. Some kinds of product are covered by the license you already hold, but others are not. The [license includes instructions on this subject](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/master/licenses/ELASTIC-LICENSE.txt#L52-L56):
> If You have any question as to whether a specific SaaS Offering constitutes a Prohibited SaaS Offering, or are interested in obtaining Elastic's permission to engage in commercial or non-commercial distribution of the Elastic Software, please contact [elastic\_license@elastic.co](mailto:elastic_license@elastic.co).
If in doubt, send a message to that address.
