Created by MongoDB, attempts to be even more restrictive than AGPL by more explicitly saying that indirect automatic requests are also included in the "you must give source" domain: opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/8025/difference-between-mongodb-sspl-and-gnu-agpl
The base use case is:
  • client contacts server software, e.g. a Python program
  • Python contacts the database, and returns results back to the client
which is what MongoDB is trying to ensure, which sounds fair.
