Redis will remain BSD licensed
Hi, this is Yiftach, CTO and Co-founder of Redis Labs. First, let me assure you that Redis remains and always will remain, open source, BSD license. For avoiding any doubt - commons clause (as defined in commonsclause.com) is applied only to add-ons (modules), on top of Redis (e.g. RediSearch, Redis Graph, ReJSON, Redis-ML, Rebloom) that were developed by Redis Labs .We initially released these modules under AGPL license but found two major drawbacks (a)  AGPL does not prevent cloud providers (such as AWS) from building managed services from these modules, and (b) we got requests from developers, working at large enterprises to move from AGPL to a more permissive license, because the use of AGPL is against their company’s policy.In addition, a few people here (and other threads) have asked why we didn’t create a new proprietary license, like those offered by Elastic or MaraiaDB? Well, Commons Clause was created by a coalition of several OSS infrastructure companies, some of which use a different OSS licenses. In order to maintain a standard framework we decided to piggyback the restriction (on creating managed services by cloud providers) on any existing OSS license.
