Hi, I work at MongoDB, and I'm here to elaborate in answer to your comment. > I was at the presentation last Thursday, they (OnGres) have fully open sourced both their methodology and their results and had a pretty strict divide bet

I agree, it does sound like a step in the right direction. Here’s how I look at the issue you have with trust in companies and regulatory bodies: I cannot imagine a world (inhabited by humans) without bureaucratic inefficiency and corruptio

I appreciate your comment about how the market works, thanks for that. You certainly have a point about our not working with the OSI prior to issuing the SSPL. All other things being equal, we would like to have, but as a publicly traded co

Dunno if this thread is too cold for you to notice my reply, but there absolutely is... MongoDB Mobile was released last year, and along with Stitch, MognoDB’s serverless application platform, you can get exactly what you want — mobile sync

I also work for MongoDB. I respect your opinion about whether the SSPL is free or open, but it is not one that is uniformly shared by the OSI, as evidenced by the discussion currently underway in the license-approval mailing list. Many have

The SSPLv2, currently under review by the OSI, does not have this property.

Wait... do you mean something other than https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/replication/ ?

Try the free tier on Atlas.

The API is implemented on the server side; the licensing of the MongoDB drivers is irrelevant.

Much of what you say about the lack of clarity is fair, but we hope that those things will be resolved when the SSPL gains OSI certification. In the meanwhile, we will do our best to 1) listen closely to the specific arguments as to what is

Sorry, let me clarify. It's always possible to claim anything. I meant that the claim is too weak for the SSPL to create that threat. It's obvious that several people disagree, but within this thread, conversing about this article

Absolutely I understand. And you taking the time to articulate the issues is generous, and I appreciate that as well. I make no claim that the SSPL is as easy to understand as the GPL. It's not. IMO the GPL's domain is such that i

I think we're all on the same page about the shoddiness of being in the open source insurance business, but that is not what the SSPL is for, nor could it be used for that. We simply can't make the claim that any SaaS other than

There is no restriction, only the requirement that the systems that make your service run be made available under the SSPL.

See my main thread post addressing this misconception. The SSPL's obligation to release those components only applies in the case that the user is offering the licensed software itself as a service.

by metheus 8y ago
No apologies required! If we see this question come up a lot we can add it to the FAQ. MongoDB does not release the stack for Atlas, our SaaS. That's possible because we own the copyright to the source code -- we don't have to iss

Disclosure: I work for MongoDB. You're in the right ballpark, for sure, but the SSPL addresses the difference explicitly. I'll use your example of Tumblr to clarify. Tumblr is built on some component technologies, like a database,

Disclosure: I work for MongoDB. Forcing droves of community users to buy commercial licenses is not the intention of the SSPL -- indeed, it cannot serve that function, as it does not obligate them to do anything at all unless they are mak

The SSPL does not create that obligation.

That's not correct, the license only says if you make SSPL licensed software itself available as a service, you have to release the service code under the SSPL. Using the licensed software to build anything else at all is ok to do wi

by metheus 8y ago
The SSPL neatly sidesteps that workaround. It does not specify anything about the provenance of code, or the extent to which code is shared with the licensed software's code. If you offer a service based on the licensed software, and t
