Yeah, I agree it is not an open source license based on rule 9 alone. I mean, the reason for the license not being open source is not an accident. It's not some unforeseen side effect. Their whole purpose of changing the license is to restrict the freedoms of the service companies using the software. I'm somewhat sympathetic to MongoDB for wanting to extract money from them or to force them to work with the open source community. However, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Forcing them that means your license is not open source.
