So, not OSI approved? Yes, but I have issues calling the SSPL a closed license. What is it that changed from AGPL in SSPL that was absolutely needed? Why can't we have an AGPL 1.1 or 2.0 if it is a breaking change? I am not saying anyirez is wrong. I would like to learn why this was necessary, if at all.

Big cloud players would put a thin layer on top and ignore the AGPL.
