Great point, this should be a bigger point in the discussion. Here is the contradiction in their own words:

https://www.mongodb.com/community/licensing:

"Our goal in selecting the Server Side Public License (SSPL) v1.0, an open source license introduced by MongoDB, as our open source license is to require that enhancements to MongoDB be released to the community."

https://www.mongodb.com/cloud-terms-and-conditions:

"You may not: (a) modify, alter, tamper with, repair, or otherwise create derivative works of any software included in the Service; (b) reverse engineer, disassemble, or decompile the Services or apply any other process or procedure to derive the source code of any software included in the Service"

I don't see a contradiction. One is the terms of the license. Other is the terms of the hosted service.
