#TIL that the Big Blue Button video conferencing software may still depends on a version of MongoDB released under a proprietary license:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BigBlueButton#BigBlueButton #MongoDB

@lightweight Can you shed any light on whether BBB devs plan to migrate from MongoDB to a database package released under a free license?

@strypey No idea, I'm afraid. Although I think that their use of MongoDB is quite superficial... and they probably could fairly easily port their use of it to PostgreSQL with JSON fields given that the Greenlight front end already uses a PostgreSQL instance...

@strypey reckon that'd be a question worth asking via a Github issue...

@strypeyOut of curiosity: do you know who was the most prominent sponsor at #OSI when they refused the #SSPL?Calling the SSPL a "proprietary license" on this ground is a bit misleading.It's not an opensource license if and only if OSI gatekeeping is what qualify #OSS (hint: it doesn't, they always refuse this responsibility): they did not give their bless, because license proliferation, yadda yadda... but they blessed the #CAL license which was much more... "innovative".MongoDB's license is a slightly modified #AGPLv3 but... OSI won't beat the hands that feed them, right?
