Mongo's business model is "exploiting the technically naive". They are the CueCat of databases.

How is it exploitative to give something away for free?

Imagine if everyone using MongoDB had to pay for it, you know, like most things in the world?

I suggest they are giving away their cake and picking up a few crumbs after the fact.

Builders don't typically give away homes to sell a few cabinets.

Exploiting with products available for free? Oh really?
