Redis is no longer free software
Thursday March 21, 2024. 08:33 AM , from LWN.net
The Redis in-memory database system has had
its license changed to either the Redis Source Available License or the Server Side Public License (covered here in 2018); neither license qualifies as free software. Under the new license, cloud service providers hosting Redis offerings will no longer be permitted to use the source code of Redis free of charge. For example, cloud service providers will be able to deliver Redis 7.4 only after agreeing to licensing terms with Redis, the maintainers of the Redis code. Distributors like Fedora are already looking at removing Redis as a consequence. (Thanks to Emmanuel Seyman).
