To avoid any confusion, we would like to make it clear that Salil is not affiliated with MongoDB, and his remarks should not be attributed to us. We would like to point out our response for those that are interested: <a href="http://www.eliothorowitz.com/blog/2018/12/11/open-source-and-the-sspl/">http://www.eliothorowitz.com/blog/2018/12/11/open-source-and-the-sspl/</a> . Mr. Deshpande is focused on issues similar to those we are facing, but he has advocated a very different solution: a limited license in the form of the Commons Clause. Limited licenses are nothing new. MongoDB, on the other hand, has gone to significant effort to try to find an innovative open source solution to the problem. We request that members of this list keep the discussion on this list focused on the topic of whether the SSPL conforms to the Open Source Definition.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>We would also like to address a couple of issues that have been raised since our submission of the updated version of the SSPL:<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Members have flagged the fact that the copyleft provisions of SSPL extend to other software that is used to make the Program available as a service. As we stated in our prior response (<a href="http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2018-October/003672.html">http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2018-October/003672.html</a>), we believe that in the modern context, where linking has been superseded by the provision of programs as services and the connection of programs over networks as the main form of program combination, this form of copyleft is appropriate and conforms to the Open Source Definition. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Members of the list have also expressed concern about what constitutes “Making the functionality of the Program… available as a service.” We would like to note that we have provided specific guidance on this in Section 13: <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>-----<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Making the functionality of the Program or modified version available to third parties as a service includes, without limitation, enabling third parties to interact with the functionality of the Program or modified version remotely through a computer network, offering a service the value of which<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'> entirely or primarily derives from the value of the Program or modified version, or offering a service that accomplishes for users the primary purpose of the Program or modified version.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'> -----<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>In contrast, Section 13 of AGPL, the flagship network copyleft license, only says “your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network...” with no additional guidance as to what that means. While perhaps not perfect, we think that the SSPL language is more detailed and easier to understand. We intend for the SSPL to be useable by others who have written other software, and to withstand changing interpretation as technology itself changes -- that’s a goal of any good open source license. We cannot do that and, simultaneously, remove all doubt as to what constitutes software-as-a-service in every instance. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>We realize that during the holiday season the volunteers on this list may need more time to comment, and we look forward to more comments and discussion in the coming weeks. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>-Eliot<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>On Wed, Nov 21, 2018 at 5:37 PM Eliot Horowitz <<a href="mailto:eliot@mongodb.com">eliot@mongodb.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Thank you for your comments on the Server Side Public License.

Conveying Non-Source Forms.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.

You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the object code work.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user, “normally used” refers to a typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant mode of use of the product.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>“Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source.

Additional Terms.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>“Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different from the original version; or<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the material; or<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply either way.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>8. Termination.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>You may not propagate or modify or otherwise use a covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify or otherwise use it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11).<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under section 10.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a single copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to use, propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by using, modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>11. Patents.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed is called the contributor's “contributor version”.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>A contributor's “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For purposes of this definition, “control” includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot use, propagate or convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not use, propagate or convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>13. Offering the Program as a Service.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>If you make the functionality of the Program or a modified version available to third parties as a service, you must make the Service Source Code available via network download to everyone at no charge, under the terms of this License or, solely with respect to any programs (other than the Program or a modified version) for which you do not have the right to make the Corresponding Source available under the terms of this License, under the terms of a license that has been approved by the Open Source Initiative or categorized by the Free Software Foundation as free. Making the functionality of the Program or modified version available to third parties as a service includes, without limitation, enabling third parties to interact with the functionality of the Program or modified version remotely through a computer network, offering a service the value of which entirely or primarily derives from the value of the Program or modified version, or offering a service that accomplishes for users the primary purpose of the Program or modified version.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>“Service Source Code” means the Corresponding Source for the Program or a modified version, and the Corresponding Source for all programs (other than programs that are Major Components or System Libraries) that you use to make the Program or modified version available as a service, including, without limitation, management software, user interfaces, application program interfaces, automation software, monitoring software, backup software, and host orchestration software, all such that a user could run an instance of the service using the Service Source Code you make available. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>14.
