Addressing to your point directly, the project doesn't claim to be open-source https://github.com/appbaseio/abc#licensing and the same is also mentioned in the blog post. The part of the project that is open-source is available at https://github.com/appbaseio/abc (but isn't relevant to the post here). The import functionality is based on the transporter project[1], and to set the record straight - we will be adding the acknowledgement for the same in the next binary release[2]. However, we are not redistributing the source as `abc import` isn't open-source. For anyone interested in why we aren't straight up using the transporter project as is, there are changes we have introduced in the 1.) sink functionality, 2.) added adaptors for SQL variants and CSV, and 3.) made a more simpler interface. Going forward, we are more interested in the e

asiest way to sync <X> to Elasticsearch, which is different from transporter's goal of a generic ETL. I do appreciate you bringing this up. We're very much just getting this out there and want to do the right thing. [1] https://github.com/compose/transporter [2] https://github.com/appbaseio/abc/issues/77
In Show HN: X to Elasticsearch Sync
I did a bit of digging in the repository. And I didn't like what I found. First off, this project seems to be based on: https://github.com/compose/transporter But of course every mention of transporter or compose.io was removed from repository, including original BSD-3 license. Which is clearly a violation of BSD-3 license terms. Guys, this is not how open source works. You shouldn't try to claim all the credit when your work is clearly a derivative of another work. And this isn't even the worst thing about the project. While it claims to be an open-source software, almost all of its functionality has been removed from the source code. Thus as an open source software it's completely useless. If you build it from source it probably does nothing, because syncing code is closed source. Yeah, I know you can download pre-built executable. But

I won't ever be running some closed-source freeware/commercial software in production. No, thank you very much. Especially if aforementioned software was written by someone who completely lacks any notion of ethics.
