The quantity of the individual contributors seems to be the only stretch you seem to be able to point out, yet you go further to trying to defend the SSPL license as limiting a very narrow set of applications - despite lawyers and open source advocates almost unanimously having said the license text itself is ambiguous enough to cover a much larger set of use cases.

If you are not a lawyer and if this is not legal counsel, I'd suggest you leave your personal interpretations of a license that is broadly considered to be less permissive than advertised outside of civil discussion.

Why the but? Obviously this decision hurts AWS but it also hurts a much broader group than them.
