    Je vois des interprétations contradictoires

    Under the GPL, anyone offering the software as a service would have to make the source code available for download. The new terms expand that, requiring them to make the ‘Service Source Code’ available. This means not just the source code for the software, but also the source code for any other software used to serve it from the cloud. This includes "management software, user interfaces, application program interfaces, automation software, monitoring software, backup software, storage software and hosting software, all such that a user could run an instance of the service using the Service Source Code you make available," the SSPL says.

    Ça n'impacterait que les logiciels liés à l'exploitation de la DB...

    The license won’t apply [...] to SaaS companies using it as the basis for their services, the company added.

    mais pas le code métier.

    For virtually all regular users who are currently using the community server, nothing changes because the changes to the license don’t apply to them. Instead, this is about what MongoDB sees as the misuse of the AGPLv3 license. "MongoDB was previously licensed under the GNU AGPLv3, which meant companies who wanted to run MongoDB as a publicly available service had to open source their software or obtain a commercial license from MongoDB," the company explains. "However, MongoDB’s popularity has led some organizations to test the boundaries of the GNU AGPLv3."

    Ici aussi, je comprends que c'est destiné aux boîtes qui fournissent du Mongo DB en cloud, pas des applis basées sur Mongo DB.
