Please do read the previou discussion regarding SSPL and mongodb. I don't know if there are recent development but it's still not an OSI license. https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2019-January/029430.html I do think there is a possible debate still about how we should approach these licenses, but in general people favour dropping them instead of pretending to be a lawyer. This is also why elasticsearch has been updated until the version before the license change and then orphaned. -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16
