SSPL is open source by every definition. The OSI rejected it, but their explanation for why boils down to "neener neener" (it's not backed by any facts). Most other organizations haven't bothered to take a position because no notable software uses it and it's not worth the hassle to evaluate (mongodb and redis have better alternatives so nobody cares about them). |

Foundations run in a more non-profit, community-oriented way include the FSF, EFF, and Debian, none of which made any significant comment. Debian has excluded SSPL software, but their criteria for inclusion are stricter than simply "is it open source?" and they announced it was simpler to replace them with their superior non-SSPL equivalents than to actually tackle the question.
