@musicman If I recall correctly, it is designed to prevent companies using SSPL licensed software to generate (substantial) profit, instead driving them to purchase a proprietary commercial license instead.
Think about how this would affect Amazon, Microsoft, Google, CenturyLink, and other large cloud hosting providers. This isn’t targeted at people like me, who spin up a server at home and run #MongoDB, #Redis, and similar services in a non-profit manner.
(I sympathize with companies who sponsor #FLOSS projects and find that the largest corporations in the world reap the benefit, but contribute little or nothing to the ongoing development and maintenance of the software. But going fake-open [“fauxpen”] is a case of the cure being worse than the disease.)

This is another reason why the 'source available' folks are wrong. "Cloud" vendors may not be paying directly to use their software, but they pay people whose work days contribute huge amounts to a wide range of #FreeCode projects. Projects like the Linux kernel, without which 'source available' projects like #Redis, #MongoDB, and #ShareTribe, wouldn't have a viable business in the first place.
Other than #Redis and #ShareTribe, does anyone know of any formerly #FreeCode projects that have switched to '#SourceAvailable' licenses, which do not allow commercial use of the software?
After #Redis and #MongoDB,Confluent Sets Restrictions on Software Usage
Confluent’s new #license is very similar to the #Apache 2.0 except for a clear restriction on providing KSQL and several other components as cloud services.
#Redis "commons clause" is a disaster for #opensource. it: - removes 1 of the 4 fundamental freedoms - hurts the "open source" brand by breaking FSF/OSI definitions, but keeping the name - promotes license bait-and-switch as a business model - proves the FUD right: someone hired the maintainer and changed the license - kills a great OSS project. no one will trust RedisLabs' modules again.
If you don't want someone monetizing your product, CHOOSE A RECIPROCAL, "FREE SOFTWARE" LICENSE.
Avis au !troupeau, j'ai activé le plugin expériemental de @chimo ajoutant un cache #Redis à notre instance !gnusocial. N'hésitez pas à me rapporter le moindre bug que cela pourrait occasionner.
Started #queuedaemons. Should speed things up a bit. I need to figure out how to write a #systemd unit file to start them at boot. (But changes are ahead. I'm hoping to take a look at STOMP queues and also the new #Redis queue written for the #PostActiv fork.)
