I don't think anyone in this thread has claimed that this license is the best thing since sliced bread, or even described it as "great". It is a license we have chosen to use that we think is good for us, and we think it has merit for similar SaaS businesses who choose to share their code as we do.

(If I'm mistaken and someone has claimed that, I am happy to be corrected.)

Let me rephrase it a bit less aggressive, I think "disarming" the discussion is good: I understand the part that you think it works good for you (hey, why else would you use it?) and you hope it can help others. But the 'vibe' I get from your answers is very .. Stallman-y? And at least to me that's very off-putting.

But: I still wish you the best. The sustainability crisis in open source is a real problem and I hold my fingers crossed for a good solution.
