The business strategy behind MongoDB's relicensing
MongoDB's decision to relicense was driven by the aim to tackle big cloud providers and third-party hosting providers who were using MongoDB without paying.

The strategy was successful in achieving its goal and reducing MongoDB's presence in the open-source community.
