How in particular are they blocked by Mongo license? It's AGPL but it only applies to changes made to the database source code itself. It doesn't impose any requirements on your application if you are just talking to Mongo over the wire.
It is not unheard of for businesses in both the public and private sector to not allow AGPL code or use of applications released under this license. For example, I worked at a public library for years, and the policy was no AGPL, even if we had no intention of touching the source. Same for a local university. [Edit to add anecdote]

client function client_function(x, y) { ... }
This seems at least slightly different from "pure javascript". There are more examples on the page, particularly the neat sugar for database stuff.I don't think it's accurate to say that this is an outright lie.

I know a few large scale corporations that license Mongo from 10gen including their commercial support. I really don't see any issue here. http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/MongoDB+Commercial+Servi...

From the linked page: client function client_function(x, y) { ... } This seems at least slightly different from "pure javascript". There are more examples on the page, particularly the neat sugar for database stuff. I don't think it's accurate to say that this is an outright lie.
