Copyleft licenses are limited to the software itself, but SSPL expands this to ”including, without limitation, management software, user interfaces, application program interfaces, automation software, monitoring software, backup software, storage software and hosting software”. If there’s even the tiniest risk of having to comply with that, I’d stay clear of anything SSPL licensed.
