or trying to poison an existing Open Source license
Yes, kudos to Confluent for at least creating a new license, as opposed to adopting "Commons Clause + Apache" or something.
All of this said, even though I don't particularly like this "you can do everything except build a SaaS of this project" model, if people are going to do this, I hope that eventually things consolidate to where there's one de-facto standard "Shared Source - Non-SaaS" license.
