Welp. It's official. #Redis is no longer #OSS While I wasn't a contributor to the core, I presented on it dozens of times, talked to thousands, and wrote a book about it.I probably wouldn't have done any of that with that kind of license.Very disappoin...

@linux_mclinuxface good grief. This is rage inducing. If I had contributed to the redis source I would be very mad.

@viking the rage is rightful, IMHO.
Changing the license of a dependency is disruptive to many thousands of people. A lot of people are just burning hours either switching to something else or talking to legal counsel to see if these non-open licenses are in any way acceptable.
Such waste heat.

Linux Foundation launches #Valkey, a continuation of development from #Redis 7.2.4 with the same BSD 3-Clause license.

@linux_mclinuxface looks like Valkey already has lots of backing from big corporations. I have to wonder how good of a business decision it was for Redis to change licenses.

@viking It's hard to beat something that is truly open

@linux_mclinuxface Are there forks?

@linux_mclinuxface reasons like this is why I'm only releasing new stuff I write under AGPL.
Get that copy_right_ right out of here, thanks.
