   So it seems Mongo are trying to do something similar to the Commons Clause except that they're smart enough to make a license that quite arguably is still FOSS (it's not officially judged yet but their arguments as to why it is still FOSS seem valid). Roughly their license says that if you offer something that effectively resells Mongo as a service you need to supply the proprietary bits of that service as well.

      The idea that Mongo doesn't have to play by the terms of the license they write once again demonstrates the dangers of copyright assignment to a company.
