the osi has failed, in my opinion, for not approving sspl or something similar.

i respect them a lot less for it than i used to.

sspl does not technically impose any restrictions on any class of users; it’s just an extreme copy left license.

instead, osi spent a time arguing about mongo business model, technical capabilities, and sales tactics.

mongo eventually pulled their application to osi because (i think) they were so turned off by the process and politics.
