Hi, I work at MongoDB, and I'm here to elaborate in answer to your comment. > I was at the presentation last Thursday, they (OnGres) have fully open sourced both their methodology …

I agree, it does sound like a step in the right direction. Here’s how I look at the issue you have with trust in companies and regulatory bodies: I cannot imagine a world (inhabite…

I appreciate your comment about how the market works, thanks for that. You certainly have a point about our not working with the OSI prior to issuing the SSPL. All other things bei…

Dunno if this thread is too cold for you to notice my reply, but there absolutely is... MongoDB Mobile was released last year, and along with Stitch, MognoDB’s serverless applicati…

I also work for MongoDB. I respect your opinion about whether the SSPL is free or open, but it is not one that is uniformly shared by the OSI, as evidenced by the discussion curren…

Much of what you say about the lack of clarity is fair, but we hope that those things will be resolved when the SSPL gains OSI certification. In the meanwhile, we will do our best …

Sorry, let me clarify. It's always possible to claim anything. I meant that the claim is too weak for the SSPL to create that threat. It's obvious that several people disagree, but…

Absolutely I understand. And you taking the time to articulate the issues is generous, and I appreciate that as well. I make no claim that the SSPL is as easy to understand as the …

I think we're all on the same page about the shoddiness of being in the open source insurance business, but that is not what the SSPL is for, nor could it be used for that. We simp…

There is no restriction, only the requirement that the systems that make your service run be made available under the SSPL.

See my main thread post addressing this misconception. The SSPL's obligation to release those components only applies in the case that the user is offering the licensed software it…

No apologies required! If we see this question come up a lot we can add it to the FAQ. MongoDB does not release the stack for Atlas, our SaaS. That's possible because we own the co…
