I hope somebody forks MongoDB from the version when it was open source.

That no one has done that already suggests that no one thinks it’s worth doing. And it isn’t, Postgres is properly free, and more than surpasses Mongo in all aspects.

Forking takes resources.

MariaDB, the MySQL fork, didn't happen over night.

Give it time.

Coming from Rethink and Mongo I don't like SQL. I don't want rows at all, or documentation that assumes a table model. Having a JSON data type doesn't mean you're a document store.

Postgres can do JSON. Does MongoDB have schemas yet?

Yes. MongoDB enabled a standards-based approach to schemas back in 3.6... should you feel you need schemas. https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/schema-validation/

The comment you're replying to mentions that Postgres can do JSON.

Ah, I see what they meant now.
