In best case, the terms "export, borrow from, or touch it" don't make any sense.
In worst case (which I believe it is) they're rethorical terms that translate to development/licensing concepts; in this case, they're false:
- "export/borrow" can refer to the act of distributing; SSPL allows developers to redistribute and use; what SSPL prevents is for cloud companies to use it as backend for their services
- "touch" means to modify the code; this is absolutely possible, as it is for GPL
There are a few articles around that explain the motivation behind SSPL. It isn't far from AGPL in intent, but it's just too fuzzy to be accepted as FOSS.
