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: https://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.
