Seems like it would. Which, maybe isn’t a horrible thing, considering it would prevent a company like Amazon from just nuking a vendor like Mongo by cloning their tech and offering it in their PaaS. I would hope that we end up with something more like FRAND rules than conventional copyrights, though.

You cannot be serious. MongoDB chose a bad type of license, it’s only their fault. By your logic, any fork that was successful more than predecessor should be punished.
