The answer came less than 3 months after the license change[0]:
> Today we are launching Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility), a fast, scalable, and highly available document database that is designed to be compatible with your existing MongoDB applications and tools.
They slapped a MongoDB API on their Aurora service, the product underneath their RDS (Relational Database Service).
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.
Woot! With my latest commit I have officially converted 100% of the #AetherMUD codebase to be backed by #Ferma (meaning any GraphDB, specifically OrientDB in this case). The old system was to just store it as raw JSON on the file system.
AetherMUD is Open-source :opensource: written in Java :java:
It is an MMORPG, text based, and played through telnet/ssh. More info here:

So I decided part of the reason development on #AetherMUD is going so slow is me repeating the same code in my DAO layer in multiple spots. A bit of a shortcoming of #Ferma
Ferma is a database extraction layer for graph databases
Luckily as the founder of Ferma I can always just add new features to the code base there (its also open-source). So im going to try to toss in some new Ferma features for handling sets and object copying.
For those interested the source code :opensource: for both are below, they are written in Java :java:
