Elastic-2.0 · Source available (not OSI-approved)
Not OSI-approved. Permits broad use but explicitly forbids offering the software as a hosted or managed service to third parties, and forbids circumventing license key functionality.
The same license produces different obligations depending on whether the software is distributed, hosted, or kept internal. This is the distinction most dependency scanners collapse.

As a build-time dependency it is a different question.
Elastic-2.0 appears as a dev dependency, so it is not part of the artifact you ship. Distribution-triggered obligations do not arise. Tools that emit code into your output, such as code generators, are a separate case worth checking individually.
