I do not know about OSI but SSPL most certainly fits the FSF free software definition.

It does not by my reading. It violates freedom 0 - "The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose."[0]. You cannot run the program for the purpose of offering a cloud version.

Sure you can, just like the AGPL versions of mongodb. You just need to follow the terms of the license.

In this case how is Oracle different ? You can use it for any purpose... just follow the license.... which requires selling kidney, or two...
