For what reason is SSPL considered non-free? As I see, it's essentially a GPL
incompatible AGPL license.
It restricts fields of endeavor and how you can use it. That conflicts
with freedom 0 of the Free Software Definition. In addition, no one is
sure it's actually possible to comply with the SSPL as worded, since
it attempts to convert the licensing of everything that's part of the
running system, including things not directly linked to it.
