Disclosure: I work for Amazon.

Amazon has never offered a database service based on the MongoDB server software. Not when it was AGPLv3 nor when it was SSPLv1.

But Amazon did copy the software and continues to sow confusion in the community about which is which

No, it didn't copy the software. That's like saying min.io copied S3 software, which would also be false.

It implemented a wire protocol for interoperability purposes, similar to functionality in IBM DB2, Azure CosmosDB, FerretDB, and other databases.

If there is anything specific you believe is confusing, please provide some details and I will pass the feedback on.

Sure just do a Google search and you will see that a user searching for the database is going to get routed to the clone in the AWS organic and sponsored results
