How it started: "This change has zero effect on the Redis core license, which is and will always be licensed under the 3-Clause-BSD."
How it's going: "Beginning today, all future versions of Redis will be released with source-available licenses. Starting with Redis 7.4, Redis will be dual-licensed under the Redis Source Available License (RSALv2) and Server Side Public License (SSPLv1)."

@msw this makes me so sad.
I poured years of my life into that project.
-
@linux_mclinuxface It makes me so sad too, to see the hard work done by so many to keep the community-led project alive.
-
@msw ugh. Madelyn worked so hard at this too.

I'm glad that the page with all the historical sponsors of Redis will live on in the git repository for redis.io.
Because it's been deleted from the live site.

@msw Curious what AWS's plans are in light of this. (The Redis announcement, I mean - not the Microsoft thingy...)

@msw @bootlegrydia So #redis is no longer free software? I think it is strange that we are at a point where open source isn't controlled
enough anymore compared to the term #foss.. -

PS. GPL fork at Codeberg (under maintenance right now), see: https://fosstodon.org/@drewdevault/112134641456720733

@linux_mclinuxface @msw What is Madelyn doing now? The Redis governance page is now a 404. What happens if you are a committer on a project that gets relicensed?
-
@linux_mclinuxface @msw Hopefully she gets to pick the fork she wants to work on and sees it go to a foundation to keep it open.

Wow, what an overwhelming community response in this PR. It is not a surprise when something like #Redis has become so loved by its community. There’s a clear sentiment that with this change it has been taken away.
I encourage folks to support #OpenSource maintainers who were doing the hard work as individuals. They didn’t ask for any of this disruption in their lives. They exist and their efforts matter.

"Today, the Linux Foundation announced its intent to form Valkey, an open source alternative to the Redis in-memory, NoSQL data store.

At the Linux Foundation, Valkey will follow an open governance model, remaining community-driven and welcoming of all users and contributors."#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #OSS #Redis #Valkie #Linux

@msw Good move, that’s what I expected to happen. However the name Valkey is pretty clunky.
