I think their real purpose was to make it impossible for SAAS vendors to operate anything dependent on #MongoDB without buying a commercial license instead of the SSPL.
(Would $CLOUD_VENDOR open source everything, including virtualization configs, systemd units, backup scripts in order to keep using MongoDB? Or would they perhaps fork the last truly free version, and together with others in similar straits, take over maintenance and development, cutting off the MongoDB corporate entity? Or visit #Apache's various #NoSQL projects and try out potential replacements?)
I looked briefly for a comparison of revenue trends pre-SSPL and post-SSPL, but saw nothing. I should probably devote some more time to it, but that will have to be another time.
It's pretty demoralizing to never get any responses from anyone but @lnxw48a1, but I am nothing if not persistent.
I realize I could interact more and gain more followers and I could post more. Maybe I'll give Mastodon a shot a see if I get more interaction there. I don't think I've joined an instance but maybe I have.

@bortzmeyer@redchrision I wonder how important is this distinction. If I keep my git repository private, I am still "processing" personal data internally.
Right-to-be-forgotten could be similar problem to the revocation of the license granted to the project.
A good morning to you all. It is 10:15 PST on #Pi-day, and I have consumed my daily #YoCo ( #yogurt and #coffee ). #TZAG
Today, I’m going to try to get a little learning environment set up for #LAMP ( #Linux, #Apache, #MariaDB, #PHP ). The time is rapidly approaching when the current workyjob and I must part ways, and @amic does not yet make enough money 💰 to support me and my family members.
@cj I suspect that one day starting a new AP project by writing your own AP engine from scratch will seem as weird as writing your own webserver from scratch, instead of just using an off-the-shelf module like #Apache or #Nginx. @kaniini
Glad to hear it. I need to see about getting Federati's #XMPP server running again. I never got it to work with #LetsEncrypt, but I'm probably going to switch to a paid cert authority anyway. #LECert is too fiddly if there's anything different about your setup (e.g., using #Lighttpd or #Prosody instead of #Apache or #Nginx).
