Fed up with cloud giants ripping off its database, MongoDB forks new 'open-source license'
-
Today, the maker of another open source database, MongoDB, plans to introduce a license of its own to deal with the issue cited by Redis: cloud service providers that sell hosted versions of open-source programs – such as Redis and MongoDB database servers – without offering anything in return.
It no longer wants to be pawn in game of life

What a bunch of tools: "How dare you use our free product for free!" We should set up a table outside of MongoDB headquarters with "free cookies". But, every time someone takes a free cookie, we slap it out of their hands and call them freeloading bastards.

MonogDB has 355 contributors at this point (of which 1/10th is actually MongoDB employee)... As a lot of open source projects it became mature and prime-time ready by those contributions, not because of the one started it... In the case of MongoDB the idea wasn't that original at all... Look around you - you have endless solutions for the very same problem... One goes up and the second vanishes... The reason has a lot of factors, like quality and cost... In case the cost goes up people will put their effort in the next project in line... Writing code is not simple, but only a small part of an application life-cycle...
