Redis is no longer free software

Date:
Thu, 21 Mar 2024 07:33:03 +0000

Description:
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).
