Open source licenses are the foundation for the open source software ecosystem, a system that fosters and facilitates the collaborative development of software. Fauxpen source licenses allow a user to view the source code but do not allow other highly important rights protected by the Open Source Definition, such as the right to make use of the program for any field of endeavor. By design, and as explained by the most recent adopter, Elastic, in a post it unironically titled “Doubling Down on Open,” Elastic says that it now can “restrict cloud service providers from offering our software as a service” in violation of OSD6. Elastic didn’t double down, {it threw its cards in}.

缴械投降/实质上放弃
“throw in the cards”相当于“throw in the towel”,表示放弃。作者是说Elastic不仅没有增加开源力度,实质上是放弃了开源做法。
