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.

I do not understand why would a developer (or development team) change the licensing terms of their software for something stricter, like Redis did. Could someone tell me what the factors are?
I guess it's things like AWS Elasticahe that made them want to provide their own service without sharing the code with their soon to be competitors.
