If you are interested in our CEO's take on the Mongo SSPL, we published this blog a few months ago.

I think it's possible to still be very critical of MongoDB's licensing, and not have issues with Scylla.

Well that's exactly the issue...you can't modify it or use it for your business if you compete with Mongo corp

The “if you compete with mongo corp” is probably exactly what the parent comment means. It doesn’t effect a lot of people who would use that.

I thought I could modify as long as I either pay or give money to mongodb?

Michael from MongoDB here again. MongoDB Community is still free to view, download, modify, etc. The SSPL change affects no-one besides those offering the licensed software (MongoDB) as a public service.

Michael: Would love to speak with you about this very point. Ping me via LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/petercorless/
