The differences in the license: "My sense is that it's not philosophical... we're going to iterate until we get it right."

There has been only one official release of the license, "We've been continually evolving the license, updating the language" 

Monitizing open source with support contracts has never been a great business model". Critics of this statement might point to Red Hat, but then for every Red Hat there are countless examples of those for whom this model did not work out. Ever heard of Yellow Dog linux?

On why the SSPL: "I think we can do better... I want to see more investment in open source products. VC's intesting in open source products. 

On other's with MongoDB's model: "MongoDB is unique. I would like us to not be unique."

Legally the AGPL covers us, but the SSPL clarifies that in language that will hopefully discourage the bad actors.

Did you know about AWS DocumentDB before the license change. At first he said no comment, then he said no we did not. But if it wasn't Amazon, it would be someone.
