Can we please just move to using OSS licenses with a clause namely targeting cloud providers? e.g this MIT license is applicable to everyone except for the following companies: Amazon, Microsoft, Google. Leave the rest of us poor folk alone so we don’t have to seek expensive legal counsel.

That would not be an OSS license under the OSD.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm a vendor of some packaged on-premise solution. We are using a Redis as a cache layer inside. Risk of being forced to GPL out our installer is unacceptable for us.

In your use case, you could not even use the AGPL, basically? Is that what you mean? Thanks. That would be an interesting point, but it goes over the borders of the SSPL itself. Would be more BSD/MIT vs all the rest.

No, we can provide proprietary scripts that install GPLed software (i.e. setup Linux machines), but can't provide proprietary scripts that install AGPL.
