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 what does this mean in simple terms Matt?

Matt "msw" Wilson

@Ric From my POV, we'll have to see how the Redis community responds.

@msw do you think we’ll see a hard fork?

Matt "msw" Wilson

@Ric I mean, a hard fork already exists (KeyDB).

@msw @Ric going to be asking about this tomorrow at Red Hat. My opinion is we need to start using strong copyleft licenses. MPL v2 with an option to relicense to (L)GPL v2 or higher at the least.

@sageofredondo @Ric MPL was not sufficient friction to prevent Hashicorp's license change... There are believed to be MPL v2 contributions that haven't been "written out" of the code base that were pre-CLA.

@msw @Ric how? Doesn't MPL v2.0 require source code files under it to be noted that they are MPL?

@sageofredondo @msw @Ric Unless converting to a GNU license, yes. If and only if you are converting to a GNU license, you are supposed to replace the notices with the appropriate GNU license notice.
