Update (2023-11-14): Not long after publication of the post below about the so-called “Commons Clause”, Neo4j utilized that Clause to add a “further restriction” to the Affero General Public License, Version 3 (“AGPLv3”). When John Mark Suhy tried to remove it, as permitted and encouraged by AGPLv3 itself, Neo4j sued John Mark and his small company (PureThink). That case sadly resulted in multiple ill-informed judgments forbidding such removal. As SFC's Policy Fellow, I filed an expert report on the case — explaining my first-hand knowledge about the drafting of the relevant “further restriction” removal clause, but, alas, the Court has not changed its view. The case is, however, ongoing, so please watch SFC's website for updates.
