This has the potential to backfire spectacularly. If anyone is able to abide by this license and offer mongodb as a service, they will dramatically lower the barrier to entry for mongodb hosting.
Mongo is betting that their service is uncommodifiable.
Perhaps they want to get out of the hosting game altogether, make their money consulting. In that case they’d have made a very competitive hosting market to drive down prices and spur adoption.
