As for mangodb, I still qualify this as open source. I don't care about what OSI says. For me as long as I can read the source, and modify it for my business, it's fine. It doesn't need to be free as in free beer.
- thefounder 8y agoWell that's exactly the issue...you can't modify it or use it for your business if you compete with Mongo corp
- dewey 8y agoThe “if you compete with mongo corp” is probably exactly what the parent comment means. It doesn’t effect a lot of people who would use that.
- rat9988 8y agoI thought I could modify as long as I either pay or give money to mongodb?
- merlynn 8y agoMichael from MongoDB here again. MongoDB Community is still free to view, download, modify, etc. The SSPL change affects no-one besides those offering the licensed software (MongoDB) as a public service.

- PeterCorless 8y agoIf you are interested in our CEO's take on the Mongo SSPL, we published this blog a few months ago. https://www.scylladb.com/2018/10/22/the-dark-side-of-mongodbs-new-license/ https://www.scylladb.com/2018/10/22/the-dark-side-of-mongodb...
- vorpalhex 8y agoI think it's possible to still be very critical of MongoDB's licensing, and not have issues with Scylla.
