The defects in SSPLv1 were raised by the community during the review process when it was submitted by MongoDB for comment. It would be redundant to re-enumerate them in a blog post like Bradley's, which already tend to be on the long side. ;-) MongoDB acknowledged that there were improvements needed by drafting a v2 that attempted to address a number of them. But that draft was never finalized, or put into use on any software provided under SSPL license today. From this I can only conclude that the goal is to use a maximally defective license (since there is an objectively better version proposed), with the expectation that no one who works diligently to work within the license requirements will touch it.
