MongoDB removed from RHEL 8 beta due to license
It seems[0] the new MongoDB license is basically non-free and it would make no sense to include it in RHEL8. I hope Debian and other distros follow suit as a result if they come in agreement. It&#x27;s sad that the license change all resorts to greed basically, as if Oracle took over MongoDB.<p>If I were to ever use a NoSQL database for a new project I&#x27;d aim for MIT &#x2F; 2-clause BSD based projects instead. PostgreSQL has no issue being BSD-like licensed (all this time I thought it was BSD or MIT, turns out it&#x27;s a similar license instead). It saddens me RethinkDB couldn&#x27;t compete more with MongoDB.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=18919728" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=18919728</a>
