Out of curiosity: do you know who was the most prominent sponsor at #OSI when they refused the #SSPL?

Calling the SSPL a "proprietary license" on this ground is a bit misleading.

It's not an opensource license if and only if OSI gatekeeping is what qualify #OSS (hint: it doesn't, they always refuse this responsibility): they did not give their bless, because license proliferation, yadda yadda... but they blessed the #CAL license which was much more... "innovative".

MongoDB's license is a slightly modified #AGPLv3 but... OSI won't beat the hands that feed them, right?
#oss #osi #sspl #cal #agplv3
