.... did Amazon really not get someone to compare the sources against the sources of X-Pack before redistributing it? It feels like you could just hire an outside contractor to double-check it and not contaminate yourselves.

Now that I've had a look, it seems like ODES doesn't contain the particular change that floragunn had put into Search Guard that is mentioned in the filing, so at least in that particular instance that's not directly linked.

I still think however that Amazon will feel very involved.

The code is still there even if the commit isn't: https://github.com/opendistro-for-elasticsearch/security-adv...

Ah, my mistake, I had looked in the security repo, not this one.
