AWS gives open source the middle finger

Techcrunch[^]:
AWS launched DocumentDB today, a new database offering that is compatible with the MongoDB API.
An infinitely scalable middle finger on the cloud? Where do I sign up?
Let's see - they make open source products on their cloud, and people complain. They don't use the open source products on their cloud, and people complain. Gotcha.

Didn't MongoDB already give a middle finger to the same community?

They seemed to be the ones whining about "Dah cloud is stealing all our customers with our free software", so I think this is karma.

It says something about the character of AWS management that they'd rather spend a fortune developing a database app than offer a few quid to the people whose database app they used for free for years. "Spiteful little b1tches" is the expression that comes to mind. I don't think I'll be doing any further purchasing through them.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Some want their cake and eat it too and complain; it could be said that we're surrounded by idiots --7.1 surround, stereophonic, stupidity. Did some reading (lite) on documentDB and it derives from an older release of MongoDB (allegedly). MongoDB developers had a few things to say about the fact that AWS was using a dated, not current implementation most likely implicating concerns for security and support. Seems to me that real world interest lie with safety first rather than the issues regarding project nature like open-sourcing. Fascinating that the middle fingers have scalar in leu of intelligence behind those icons --an army of well-armed monkeys. Would surmise that any whom utilize AWS documentDB service(s) become more concerned with points stated by MongoDB developers, rather than overly concerned with the project's source accessibility/licensing focus for the moment.
I was unaware of that...
