No, that is not OK. Any MongoDB release after Oct 16 2018 is SSPL-1.0. The
latest version in factory is 3.6.13 which was released Jun 10 2019, so this is
well after that date. So although the license in the .spec file says
'AGPL-3.0', this is wrong and actually should be 'SSPL-1.0'.

The last MongoDB 3.6 release under the AGPL-3.0 would have been 3.6.8, released
Sep 19 2018.

Clear.

I beg to differ. MongoDB is *still* being distributed through Tumbleweed.
