[gull] GPL V3 -> SSPL

[Daniel Cordey]

Intéressante situation... Je pensais naïvement que la GPL V3 était 
l'ultime rempart contre l'utilisation abusive du logiciel, mais il 
semble que certains aient décider de naviguer aux franges de 
l'interprétation de la GPL. L'utilisation de MongoDB à l'intérieur d'un 
service qui est lui payant pose naturellement quelques questions. Et 
comme dit  dans le dernier paragraphe de l'article, ce n'est pas un 
sujet facile avec des réponses toutes faites. Comme l'auteur le dit, on 
va attendre de voir les réactions diverses sur certains forums :-)

"I’m sure this move will ruffle some feathers. It’s hard to discuss 
open-source licenses without getting religious about what this movement 
is all about. And because MongoDB is the commercial entity behind the 
software and manages outside contributions to the code, it does have a 
stronger grip on the actual code than other projects that are managed by 
a large open-source foundation, for example. For some, that alone is 
anathema to everything they think open source should stand for. For 
others, it’s simply a pragmatic way to develop software. Either way, 
though, this will kick off a discussion about how companies like MongoDB 
manage their open-source projects and how much control they can exert 
over how their code is used. I, for one, can’t wait to read the 
discussions on Hacker News today."
