Speaking of misinformation: apparently the SSPL is based on GPLv3, not the AGPLv3. My confusion was due to it appearing to extend the AGPL's requirements.

Can we please just argue against realities, instead of fantasies? Thank you.

I appreciate that people *really* do not like the requirements for Section 13. That's fine, if that's your beef with the SSPL, then say that instead of spreading falsities. I prefer copyleft licenses over permissive licenses. Some people prefer licenses that allow people to close the source later

The FSF said they'd look into the SSPL and make a comment, it's been a long while and they've been silent on the matter. Claims that the SSPL is not a Free Software license are false. I'm also not making a claim that the SSPL is a Free Software license, because that equally lacks evidence.

The SSPL is based on the AGPL. MongoDB (the company) has a nice little difference PDF that you can read.

The OSI says the SSPL is not Open Source. I understand their reasoning, and that's their prerogative. But I think this call was more harmful than it was beneficial.
