Recently I have submitted a request (which was accepted) to make mongodb build again and a request is now pending to release to Factory. I did notice a change in the license and it didn't take long before I stumbled upon the following:
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1122267
What is the status on this? Alternative repositories are maintained by MongoDB with the latest version for SUSE 12 and 15, so even if it was decided to drop the mongodb package from OBS, people would still be able to run this if they wish to do so.

I can confirm that the packages from
https://repo.mongodb.org/zypper/suse/15/mongodb-org/4.2/x86_64/
are installable and run at least in Tumbleweed. Does it make any sense to continue maintaining this in OBS (I even started working on building MongoDB-4.2.1) or am I just wasting my time and effort here and is it scheduled to be dropped anyway?
My question is, does this prevent us from moving MongoDB into non-free repository? OSI's opinion is pretty conclusive, and many defenders of the SSPL license argue it's an `open core` and not an `open source` license anyway, so we could treat the license as `shared source`, not `open` or `free source`.
