Interesting thing about misuse, is that it prevents the enforcement of the copyright against even non-parties until the misuse has been dealt with.

Practically, that is probably dealt with via a blog post and a retreat to the AGPL, but still.

Interesting. I've never delved that far into misuse but that makes sense. Is that piece a US specific thing or common in others?

As you say it would not have too much practical effect since it's curable trivially. You'd get a few hours of unrestricted mongo use, maybe, but I bet the official order would post-date the blog post fixing it :)


Probably US only, didn't look internationally.
