Thanks for pointing that out. That is a clearer name for their proprietary license.

On that note, the title of the article is misleading. Redis hasn't changed its open source license. Redis remains BSD-licensed. This article is about the change in the proprietary license of certain Redis Modules.



Rule 1 of open source licensing journalism: The title must be misleading. Otherwise, who would read this stuff?


The title isn’t misleading, but the name of Redis Labs is. I would wager that far less confusion and hand wringing would have gone on with this if the company were named something else, like sbaL sideR.
