      Fedora and debian support the corporate definitions of FOSS, so their opinions do not matter here.

      it applies to everybody

      I don’t think most of us want to offer services by hosting a service without contributing back the code. If they do, I am happy that it is a requirement that they give back. Only for-profit companies will have an issue with this.

      it breaks the fundamental freedoms that make up “FOSS”

      Why? All the license says is that if you provide it as a service you must release the source code.

        It says that you must release all your source code, even the stuff that isn’t covered by the license. From Wikipedia:

        anyone who offers the functionality of SSPL-licensed software to third-parties as a service must release the entirety of their source code, including all software, APIs, and other software that would be required for a user to run an instance of the service themselves,
