I imagine legally would need a lawsuit to set a precedence, and if a license owner sets an over-reaching precedence of what a wrapper is, they risk losing customer trust and companies avoiding them like the plague.

e.g. timescaledb going after a tsdb as a service company offering tsdb behind a graphql wrapper vs timescaledb going after a financial company offering timeseries data collection and viewing.

I think a good border test would be, would timescaledb allow you to offer a metrics and logging service? technically you're offering timeseries database functionality, but it's in a constrained domain, and very clearly a different product, but still effectively CRUDing timeseries data.
