#Redis went AGPL again? Too bad you burnt that bridge in greed.

@hohokam right?!? I'm doin it's all on one VM though. Incl storage and db. Single user (I mean, I invited my family, but let's be real), so it's not an issue. I think my next iteration of it will be separate vms for each bit. You using or still ? ?

Sorry for the hashtags, I'm addicted. (;

The next version of Valkey (8.2) will natively support MPTCP 🔀, thanks to Zhenwei 🎉 and Valkey maintainers:

Ok so now it seems like Redis is back to the opensource world

After the rug pull took place, I tried limiting my usage of Redis as Valkey, its opensource replacement had some issues with my installation

But now... Should it be the sign to finally try again a Valkey operator and remove all my redis instances ?!

LMAO look who came crawling back, after I already switched to Valkey. There is no way I am switching back, but good for the folks who are still on Redis, and get to live through a seamless transition back to open code.

I'm glad that Redis is open source again, but what prevents them from rug pulling the license in the future again?

At this point it's a better choice to stay with the successful fork developed in an open collaboration under a neutral governance, Valkey.

Fool me once. You can't fool me twice. I'm now using Valkey everywhere. Redis is trying to go back to an open source license.... Little too late now.

So #Redis changed its license again and returned to #FOSS by adopting #AGPL. I'm curious to see how it will go against #valkey. Is it too late to regain credibility in the community? Maybe a possible future for other projects that share the same destiny. There was once upon a time Hashicorp...

Redis in-memory data store returns to its open-source roots by adopting AGPLv3 in Redis 8 to address community concerns.

Last year, #Redis changed its license to the #SSPL, which is neither an #OpenSource nor a #FreeSoftware license. This led to #Valkey, a fork and drop-in replacement.

Now Redis has decided to go back to a real Free Software license, the #GNU #AGPL. This is a great decision, although it remains to be seen if they reverted their decision in time, or if it is too late and the community will continue with Valkey and not look back.

Looks like Redis is open-source again.

1. DB starts as open-source to get community goodwill and free labor
2. They pull a bait-and-switch, and change their license to a non-open-source one
3. Open-source community instantly creates a fork
4. User base gradually moves to fork
5. Original project becomes less and less relevant
6. They decide to switch back to an open-source license, but now all the users are on open-source forks

Happens every single time.

All that to say, I'll be sticking with #Valkey for the forseeable future. #Redis simply remains too volatile and risky for me to bet production on anytime soon.

I should note that although #AGPL is #opensource, it is a different license than the #BSD it had used before, and that means that #Redis can use #Valkey code but Valkey cannot use the new Redis code (under the current licensing). The move seems to be clearly about trying to undermine Valkey, which just speaks to how much ground they have lost to make such a move.
