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)."
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...)
@theuni
I mean that's literally the point. And Linux is already free software so where would the issue be? (Yes, I realise the issue is companies wanting to keep their proprietary crap to themselves)
The SSPL is not more of a poison pill than GPL (and especially AGPL) already is.
@max But it's not the lingo of the license. I'd be more than happy if this was the case, but it seems risky to positively assume this. So: IANAL and my lawyer points in the opposite direction currently. I agree on the "purpose" thing, but that isn't something I'd go without better understanding/proof.
@theuni Well I agree that it's kinda too ambiguous for most proprietary software companies... (but the same discussions have already been had when MongoDB did it so this isn't really something new?)
Don't get me wrong, I would prefer it if they just used the AGPLv3 (or even a potential GPLv4 with an included fix for this exploit... one can hope 
)
@max Do you have a pointer to those discussions? I never stumbled over them whenever I researched this ... <3
@theuni Well the stuff I remember is mostly based on stuff discussed/shared in IRC&co back then but I can try to find something mor tangible.
@max That would be appreciated. If it *really* holds I would be more than happy to make it easier to find in the future and as we're currently getting professional advice anyway I'd be more than happy to make those findings assessments available as well. I *wish* MongoDB (and the others) would go on record to confirm license compatibility.
