I'm not sure what you think I'm arguing, but I also don't think the license change will solve problems for MongoDB. That they had to change their licensing so drastically is a symptom of a much larger problem.
> Calling them "megacorps", saying they are the problem, saying you have no choice but to change your license, etc all of this is what I mean about the ill-perceived righteousness of license restrictions.
They _are_ megacorps. It's ok to be fine with megacorps, but it's a little silly to pretend they're not.
They are a problem (you can disagree with this). We'd be better off with 20 smaller companies than one large Google. More innovation, less barriers to competing, etc, etc. It's not really righteousness, righteousness is more a moral stance than an "oh shit this is a bad state we're in".
