I wonder if this what I was hearing about AWS DocumentDB where they worked around the licensing and didn't use MongoDB source code and just built their own database that was compatible. So changing the licensing did not have the affect that MongoDB wanted.

The original article suggests that asian loud providers were abusing the licensing which may have been the reason for prompted the switch. Thats new information for me.
