AGPL is borderline free software, SSPL is not free software thanks to the limits it puts on the fields of endeavour. pray read the debian social contract and the debian free software guidelines. it's perfectly fine to attempt to control use of the software, but any such attempt goes against the established definition of what free software *is*.

Sorry, but "limits on fields of endeavour" is simply propaganda. The SSPL places no limit on fields of endeavour, not any more than AGPL does anyway - you could make an argument that AGPL "targets" cloud services just like SSPL does, and you could also make an argument that GPL "targets" monolithically linked programs.

please read the debian free software guidelines, and please do not reply to me until you have read it in full. you might want to also read debian's social contract, when you're at it, it's linked from the wiki page.
