Elasticsearch is Open Source, again

Hey

Elasticsearch and Kibana are going open source, again!
We are super excited by this addition of an open source license alongside ELv2 and SSPL.

The repositories will be updated soonish.

You can read more about this here: Elasticsearch is Open Source, Again | Elastic Blog

A quote from the blog post:

We want to make the life of our users as simple as possible. We have people that really like ELv2 (a BSD inspired license). We have people that have SSPL approved (through MongoDB using it). Which is why we are simply adding another option, and not removing anything . If you already use and enjoy Elasticsearch, please carry on, nothing changed. For others, you now have the option to choose AGPL as well.
