Well, at companies that actually care about 100% rollout of "corporate, invasive crapware" on computers that _they own_ and that are used to process _company data_ and access _company resources_, the alternative is usually just to ban Linux workstations altogether.

I see this as a strict improvement for adoption of Linux workstations in the corporate world

I wonder where this leaves the AWS-sponsored Open Distro for Elasticsearch? (https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch/)

Seems to me that they have no choice but to hard fork off of the last Apache-licensed release of Elasticsearch et al
