I haven't looked into the detail myself, but I know Vicky, and assume 
that she spend a fair shair of thinking before publishing this:

I'm using ES in a few projects, so I will have to consider if I just 
freeze ES at the current version, and/or look for some alternatives in 
the future. Or maybe they won't go through with the new license? Or 
maybe it will be clarified how the license actually affects projects 
just using ES.
