The SSPL does not create that obligation.

  No, because it's even worse than that. "management software, user interfaces, application program interfaces, automation software, monitoring software, backup software, storage software and hosting software" encompasses everything behind the server, everything in front of the server, and basically everything beside the server.

    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.

  Even if it wasn’t intended to do that, the sheer amount of uncertainty this creates is untenable for many projects.
