Can MongoDB comminute edition be used free embedded in commercial SaaS product

Hi, 

Can MongoDB comminute edition be used free embedded in a commercial SaaS product? MongoDB as such is not exposed as a service. It is used as a database storing transactional data of customers.

Best, Jai

Hi Jai

thank you for your question

As per our FAQ: https://www.mongodb.com/licensing/server-side-public-license/faq

What are the implications of the SSPL on applications built using MongoDB and made available as a service (SaaS)?

The copyleft condition of Section 13 of the SSPL applies only when you are offering the functionality of MongoDB, or modified versions of MongoDB, to third parties as a service. There is no copyleft condition for other SaaS applications that use MongoDB as a database.

I hope this helps answer your question. Please do not hesitate to come back to the group with any additional questions you may have

Regards

Mat

My query is that, our application used mongoDB as database, and one of our client needs on-premises deployment of our application. 

Is it possible to deploy our application which uses mongoDB as database under current licenses that mongoDB has.?
