No, not at all.

MongoDB's new license targets scenarios where Google would provide a hosted MongoDB service to their customers (like Amazon's RDS offering, for example). It has no impact on individual customers personally spinning up their own MongoDB on their own set of servers for their own use.

My comment was a reply to the parent comment, not a reference to the article. What the parent comment says sounds like the true purpose of the new mongo license.
