We’re equally convinced on both counts, but in this blog article, we’re focusing on why MongoDB is not open source. Let’s start with this: MongoDB is accurately referred to as source-available software. To be clear, we are rock-solid in our stance that MongoDB is not open source.

Zero day refers to security vulnerabilities that are discovered in software when teams had “zero days” to work on an update or a patch to remediate the issue and, hence, are already at risk. If a malicious attacker can identify a key software vulnerability, they can exploit the vulnerability, allowing them to gain access to your systems.
