I think you've missed the point of most of the uproar. I haven't seen anybody claiming MongoDB doesn't have the right to use whatever license they like. I have however seen lots of people claim that it's a bad decision to use this latest license.

And people are free to criticize decisions all they want. It's really no different from the usual claims of bad technical decisions by MongoDB. Now people are just saying they're making bad business decisions too.

The rights discussion is largely irrelevant at this point.
