If you wish for a dissenting opinion on the MongoDB, I enjoy the writing of Kyle Mitchel at /dev/lawyer

https://writing.kemitchell.com/series/SSPL.html

Kyle is a advocate of dual licensing ("selling exceptions") and has even created License Zero [1] which is attempting to allow the creation of npm libraries which are dual licensed and an automatic command line tool to pay developers.

Except Kyle misleadingly calls his licenses open source when they aren't. Prosperity discriminates between commercial and non-commercial organizations rather than on how the code is used. He should stop muddying the waters.

I've never called Prosperity, the noncommercial license, open source. I've called Parity open source.

None of the URL fragments on https://licensezero.com/licenses/parity actually work. Your <h2>s don't have ids.
