Wasn't the AGPL created to address exactly this loophole?

Isn't this a case of Neo4j trying to prevent a SaaS from making money selling a managed Neo4j offering?

It seems the OSI is siding against Neo4j and with the SaaS by saying Neo4j had no rights to remove the right to sell the software from the SaaS company who decided to remove the added clause preventing them from selling Neo4j.

The goal of the AGPL is that anyone can run a SaaS based on someone else’s code, as long as their own modifications are open as well.

Just like the GPL ensures that while Microsoft could take Linux and sell it, they’ll have to make their changes open again.

Yes, yes it was.
