Future of MongoDB - Legal Issues with SSPLv1

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi folks,

as you may already know, MongoDB is now licensed under SSPLv1[1] as of
October 16.
Since SSPLv1 doesn't meet Fedora's license requirements, I'd like to
start a conversation
on MongoDB's future in Fedora.

Theoretically, we could maintain versions prior to October 15,
however, the new license
doesn't allow backporting (due to incompatibility with AGPLv3 - see
related thread[2] on
fedora legal list). Therefore, I'd suggest dropping MongoDB from Fedora.

I intend to file a FESCo ticket, and let them make the final decision,
however, any thoughts
or suggestions are welcome.
