According to their blogpost (https://www.elastic.co/blog/licensing-change):
> Starting with the upcoming Elastic 7.11 release, we will be moving the Apache 2.0-licensed code of Elasticsearch and Kibana to be dual licensed under SSPL and the Elastic License, giving users the choice of which license to apply.
Considering this is happening:
1. WIll CirrusSearch rely on ElasticSearch in the near future (say on version 7.x)?
2. Will CirrusSearch rely on ElasticSearch in long-term?
3. According to task T213996, the switch from MongoDB had happened because it was removed in Debian and therefore will be unsuitable for long-term use., and therefore it was unclear if a precedent was achieved. Are there any policy change or clarification if another dependency announced to switch to a license that may not be suitable for MediaWiki?
(Also possible licensing tag)
