Attached: 1 image Welp. It's official. #Redis is no longer #OSS While I wasn't a contributor to the core, I presented on it dozens of times, talked to thousands, and wrote a book about it. I probably wouldn't have done any of that with that kind of license. Very disappointed.

    But paid Redis hosting wouldn’t be allowed on the new license.

    Where does it say this? I can’t see that in the SSPL

      It’s in the RSALv2:

      You may not make the functionality of the Software or a Modified version available to third parties as a service

        Ah right. You could do a paid Redis service if you use the SSPL license though, right?

          That does seem to be the case. As long as any modifications to the source are publicly available. Which is pretty reasonable.
