MongoDB Now Released Under the Server Side Public License – MongoDB

If anyone senses echoes to the recent Redis license related news, consider that only applied to specific plugins/extensions to Redis (whose core remains BSD), whereas this relicensing applies to all forthcoming versions of MongoDB's core open source/community variant.

If this really gets OSI approved then OSI will practically redefine what OSS is. I doubt that anything that has limits in its usage and not just redistribution rules of modifications will have any chance to get OSI approved.<p>EDIT: here I better explained my POV -&gt; <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;antirez&#x2F;status&#x2F;1052201491325284352" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;antirez&#x2F;status&#x2F;1052201491325284352</a>
