I agree. I think the AGPL license perceived risk played a significant role in RethinkDB's lack of user acceptance.

Can you explain your reasonings as to why you believe this? Also, can you explain how this perceived risk didn't apply to other products such as MongoDB?

I know of several fortune 500 companies that blanket ban AGPL. It's not just about the intent of the license. These multi million dollar lawyers can not agree beyond a shadow of a doubt AGPL is safe.

I would half seriously posit that people who are using MongoDB in their software are not really all that risk-averse in the first place
