DocumentDB is a NoSQL-ish database implementation built on PostgreSQL that has been accepted by the Linux Foundation. It was created by Microsoft (under MIT license) in response to MongoDB's more restrictive licensing.
Time will tell what adoption is like or if Mongo will change it's licensing to be more permissive.
If MongoDB changes its license back to AGPL it will be another comedy like Redis
I agree, the damage is done.
The best option I see for MongoDB is for In-Q-Tel (CIA) or the government to acquire the company.
Why would they do that?
