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 Wow, they really do. <3 They're clearly *funding developers building the open source products they use* instead of other companies which will probably announce a fork to avoid paying for anything like bathroom breaks for drivers.
Huge respect to Microsoft for this one.
@ocdtrekkie you lost me when you bring non sequiturs about bathroom breaks for drivers into my mentions.
In any case, AWS has payed developers to work on the core Redis engine for many many years now. You can read more about some of their work here: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/behind-the-scenes-on-aws-contributions-to-open-source-databases/
@msw I literally noticed I was replying to an Amazon employee after I posted. But it is not lost on me the loudest complaints about this are all coming from the only company who is causing infrastructure to shift away from open source licensing.
