White labeling Kibana

Hi,

I wish to use Elasticsearch and Kibana in a commercial product.

I wish to understand the licensing concerns if I replace the Kibana logo by my own logo. Also, some text may be modified to suit my needs.

Is it fine if I do this by giving proper attribution in source code and not on UI?

Is it necessary to redistribute the code? If yes, is it only Kibana code or the whole application that it is integrated with?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Going by the mentioned clauses it should be possible to white label the software because I would only need to specify the modification in source code only and not on the UI.

I hope this makes sense. It would be great if someone can share their experience of doing the same.

Thanks
