I like to think of it as "permissionless" license vs "permissioned" license.

I was thinking free as NOT "server side" stuff like MongoDB Cockroach and so on, you know as in the Article described.

Like when they say developer freedom is beating code freedom, because it doesn't impose restrictions on the developer? i.e. permission(less)

I think you are looking for an argument while I'm agreeing with you.

Mongo license would be a permissioned license however
