[License-review] Approval: Server Side Public License, Version 2 (SSPL v2)

[Eric Schultz]

This version has much the same problems as before. The limitations what
code is included on Section 13 seem practically limitless because Service
is not defined. I don't think this can comply with OSD 9 until you explain
the limitations better, not only in this thread but also in the license.

I second much of what Bradley Kuhn said.

This response makes it seem like this isn't a good faith effort on your
part to create a compliant license. There's a lot of volunteers here who
have a lot of other things to do. If you want to exploit the volunteers who
have contributed to MongoDB by changing the license, that's your business.
I don't think it's fair for you to exploit the volunteers here though by
not making a good faith effort to bring the license into compliance.
