I think MongoDB gets an unfair shake when it comes their updated license terms. They tried to be good OSS participants while still trying to run a business. They put it out there under a permissive license but tried to make some money of it (which is a tough already). And then they got popular and AWS basically just resold their tech because of the license. They had to change their terms and regular users freaked out. If you don't resell Mongo "as-a-service" you're fine. A lot of developers didn't see it that way and it hurt them.
