I didn't question anyone's integrity. I subscribe here. The side that Jake portrayed, he portrayed accurately.

Even OSI threw in a paragraph along the lines of, "Well, it's their software. Sometimes licenses change." That's obviously not a point from Mongo, Elastic, or any of those supporting the new terms or their choice to use them. It's not even about whether SSPL is open.

To rework a famous old quote you lawyers often like: “When the law is on your side, pound on the law. When the facts are on your side, pound on the facts. When neither is on your side, pound on the table” … or maybe just accuse the media coverage of being one-sided.
