I don't think that line you link to means what you think. Otherwise no one would be using the software. What exactly are you using Elasticsearch for? Not technically, from a business point of view. If you're re-distributing our software as part of a broader product, then you would be correct about restrictions, but you should really reach out to [license@elastic.co](mailto:license@elastic.co) to discuss this. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/web-portocols-and-ports-used-by-elasticsearch/220055)._
