As a user (self hosted for internal monitoring): if you must change, please, please make it completely unambiguous what the scope is. I really want to avoid having an argument with my team about whether we're using grafana to "provide our service".

do you feel that the sspl is ambiguous on this point? if so, why?

After rereading the relevant section a few times, no, I think SSPL is fine for our use.

EDIT: I should say for our current primary usecase. It does look like this would make it awkward for us to expose grafana to clients, but that's a narrow case and/or one that I suspect you'd intend to be in-scope for virality.
