So the goal was to no longer have any contributions from hyperscalers to Redis? I don’t understand this, when the first paragraph complains that they weren’t contributing enough.
Redis has burned a lot of goodwill in the open source community, and yet another license change doesn’t inspire much confidence in the future either…

2018: "Redis will remain BSD licensed"
2024: "dual RSALv2 and SSPLv1 license"
2025: "available under the AGPLv3 open source license"
Yes, that's great and all, but next month you're probably going to write a bespoke license in iambic pentameter or so.
