       Personally it's still surprising to me that, as a case study, MongoDB is not primarily highlighted as an example of a firm that used the brand goodwill of "Open Source" as a way to implement a "Freemium" GTM strategy by choosing the most misunderstood and feared #FOSS license (#AGPLv3), then invented a new license that had a cloaked field-of-use restriction (or "constructive restriction" as @webmink calls it), attempting to warp the definition of #OpenSource#FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom #OSS

       Instead, somehow this myth is told as if it is fact.https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic/110911473508008668
