% TODO I thought I saw something about MongoDB considering AGPL but
% MongoDB was previously licensed under AGPL and then switched to SSPL,
% deciding that its (non-DOSP) noncompete license model was preferable.
% which it has maintained should be considered an Open Source license.
% The OSI review process didn't agree, although it was controversial.
% Apparently from MongoDB's point of view, it was just trying to shift
% from one Open Source license to another (that would disincentivize
% some competitive behavior that the developers found unfair or
% undesirable). But from the outside world's perspective, since SSPL
% isn't uniformly accepted as Open Source, this was a switch from Open
% Source to proprietary (and also not DOSP because there is no time
% period after which the code reverts to a conventional license).
%
% I haven't managed to find out whether it's correct that AWS was
% offering MongoDB-as-a-service before the relicensing in 2018.
