Do you get to see AWS's source code for these services?

No...

That's how it's killing "FOSS". Extend and Extinguish. This is not a new playbook.

I don't think you get to see MongoDB's source code for the enterprise edition either (though I couldn't quickly verify on Google).

Of course they provide source! Source rpms and tgz are downloadable.

Enterprise isn’t gpl, but source is provided.

(This could have been easily answered with a google search, as you pointed out)

No, I meant that I did search it on Google, and couldn't easily see from the results which case it is. Google "mongodb enterprise source code" -- which one answers the question?

If it were so easy, you could have provided the citation yourself in that comment.
