Mongo is getting EEE'ed.
- Guthur 8y agoImo mongo tried to change the rules of the game to be in their favor and AWS reacted in their best long term interests. And whether or not you like it that's fair, AWS were not in breach of the original software contract.

- gnomewascool 8y agoAgreed that something being legal doesn't make it right, but some of Microsoft's behaviour was illegally monopolistic.
