The complaint submitted to the court presumably has more details. It would have been nice if the blog post had included a link to it directly, but they did include the case identifier.
One of the claims that's easy to summarize is that Elastic alleges that floragunn made massive changes to its codebase shortly after Elastic released proprietary updates, contrary to floragunn's typical development practices, and that these changes included copies of Elastic's proprietary code:
> On June 7, 2018, just over one month after Elastic made the source code for XPack version 6.2.x publicly available under the Elastic License, floragunn made a sudden and very large change to the Search Guard code. This change comprised 244 additions and 145
deletions of code. Many of these changes involved the wholesale copying of the X-Pack code that
Elastic opened little over a month before.
The complaint goes into more detail with specific alleged examples of source code copying, showing the code in Elastic's codebase and the corresponding code in floragunn's.
> Elastic is aware that there are likely third party adopters of floragunn’s infringing Search Guard product. Elastic may seek leave to amend to add those third parties as defendants following discovery from floragunn regarding their identities.
OK, given discussion elsewhere in the thread, they're definitely talking about Amazon, right?
