      Even Redis didn't create Redis. How many contributors there are? 700+? They have to have all 700+ people signed under a license change proposal. Either they have to have their sign, or death certificate meaning those people can't vote. Even if 1 out of 700 living authors disapproves, they can't change the license. They can't vote on stealing others works. So, either all 700/700 agreed, or - can't happen. Alternatively, they can drop every single commit of every person who disagrees. And the rest 12 people who actually agreed on license change, well, - good for them. But at this point, they will lose almost entirety of this software's functionality and patches, because it's written by so many people.

      @@sidma6488 Yes and no. The company owns the trademark and the IP. Of course you can do a fork, but if they do employ most of the core developers, they are going the one pushing the boundaries, and the license chosen for the project is what let them do that. If the project was under GPL or Apache would have been a different beast. For the same reason Apple stole BSD, now Redis (former Redis Labs) is stealing Redis. That what BSD does. Who probably took it in the ass is Salvatore San Filippo, but he was the one choosing that license. In Italy we say: "Chi e' causa del proprio mal, pianga se' stesso". He has chosen BSD to make money, and the money has been made by someone else.

      Yeah, but the issue is Redis license. You see, with that money, they can make a much better Redis, without releasing the source code, because the license allows it.
      The main requirements of the BSD license typically include the necessity to credit the original source and to include the original license with any distributions of the software or its derivatives. However, unlike the GNU General Public License (GPL), the BSD license does not require that modifications to the source code be released under the same license (a concept known as "copyleft").
      Therefore, for a project like Redis, which is released under the BSD license, anyone could technically take its source code, improve it, and then sell a commercial version of it without having to release the improved source code to the public. This flexibility is part of what makes the BSD license attractive to certain developers and companies, as it allows for commercialisation opportunities while still encouraging sharing and usage of the software.
      If you get 350 millions, you can afford to hire the best contributor, and make something out of Redis, that is not the actual Redis, so to speak. Something appealing big companies, that is worth buying.

      GPL licensing is super restrictive, only the communists over at the FSF and friends do this stuff. MIT and BSD style license are definitely a nice middle ground to avoid headaches for everyone involved and in my opinion are in the true spirit of open source. Copyleft licensed software is almost always a no-go in a business setting, on basically every piece of software except provided as a service. It's a massive pain when an excellent library takes a huge space in the open space world for a specific problem but the license is GPL. It forces proprietary software to rely on more proprietary and expensive software. It's just stupid and tribalistic in my opinion.

      Congrats, you've come across a criticism leftist have been making about capitalism for decades if not more than a hundred years, but about program code in this case.
      This is what has always happened to art since capitalism. For example, how can an artist be truly authentic to their art when they need to juggle a job and all their bills they need to cover even their basic necessities? And even if their job _is_ art, how can it be authentic when it is being condition by the biases, incentives and pressures of the forces of demand and supply in the market in which they _sell_ their art? The answer is that they can't, and capitalism stifles art and artists (which, like with open source software, doesn't mean that it can't exist. It simply struggles and we as a society and culture suffer for it)

That's why we have jobs and hobbies as separate things.

    I'm not a lawyer either, but before interpreting vaguely written licensing text, it's important to note the words "Software" and "Modified" (note the initial capital letter) and see how those words are defined in the context of the license. I haven't read the entire license, but it's quite possible "Software" for them means Redis and not the software that you build around it.

    • @bepamungkas

      Hence the dual licensing. Old code is bound by old license, new code can be licensed in different terms.
      Some OSS license like GPL prevent this by "poisoning" the license with linking clause. But the enforcement overhead usually not worth it for smaller projects (like redis, initially) and they ended up choosing simpler one like MIT or some BSD variant.

    It's interesting. I don't know the general developer perfectly but my expectation is that what they look for in licensing when screening doesn't go beyond source available but they expect copyleft or permissive.
    And here redis is saying "you've voted with your usage of redis stack and you just want source available".
    People need to be much more concerned/discerning in their choice of open-source projects.

  • @ItsTheSameCat
    @ItsTheSameCat 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Open Source literally exists as a viable option because companies have a financial incentive to share the cost of research and development. Most major contributors to large FOSS projects are corporately sponsored. Yes, it's cheaper for individual companies to sponsor a couple of devs rather than roll their own. When a dozen companies do it, it makes a hell of a team and reduces duplicated effort. Anyone overlooking this is missing an essential part of how FOSS works at scale. This is why Redis has committed seppuku and Valkey will win this in the long run.

    I get where they're coming from: They want to keep the source somewhat open whilst trying to get some money out of the big cloud players reselling their product. My point of view is that they're hostages of ther initial license set for Redis. The fact many open source projects adopted it as a de-facto in-memory caching is also a complicated situation where most of them are now forced to find replacements as such projects now have imcompatible licensing models is a very hard problem to solve without impacting many people and multiple projects at the same time.

    IMO
    They have to fork it and change it's name.
    It cannot reside in the same repo as the old one.
    Because changing licenses does not work.. like that due to how the laws handle licenses.
    The license it was under allows forking..
    So no issues with the laws when doing so.
    They do control the repo so they can just lock it and only allow forking from the old one.
    All new stuff they add should go into the 'new' 'insert name here' project repo.
    With the license they wants it to have.
    Because of how they currently done it they got issues with code from the earlier license version existing in the same 'name space' as the new.
    That opens them up for issues with how the new license protects their property..
    Aka I would say they could lose in a court battle due to this.

    BSD is extreme forkable followed by monetizable. You can derive from and then close it up. It's not like ironclad forever communalism of GPL. You can take a BSD-licensed version of something, change it slightly and change the license, be it to GPL or completely closed.

    With that "viral licence attack" you probably wouldn't be able to force people to release all their other code just because they infringed your licence unwittingly. I think a court would say they could just stop using your product and stop violating your licence. They'd only have to release all the other code if they think that's worth it to be able to continue using the viral licensed product.

    I assume they wanted to expand. Enterprise contract, formal support channel, training guidance program, and a product liability clause that comes with dealing on that level. Otherwise, feature lockout will annoy everyone. They would have to multi-tier that. If big companies just want as-is, separate service and contract from feature set, then the Redis project maint will go slower or the direct support will suck. It's not just some single server cache store anymore. If companies pay, the executives want something extra. It sounds ridiculous, but if a huge system rides on this thing, and you don't get a good response from an open-source team, there's the warning. Not like Microsoft or Oracle is fast on incidents, but whatever. Funding Redis to be on the forefront of something other than cooking bacon on nvme would be fine.

    As an opensource contributor I contribute code to a project under the same license terms that product has at the time of submission. You can’t legally enforce a license change of the product without having obtained permission from all the past contributors as you don’t own the copyright to all of the code unless it was signed over when accepting each contribution. It’s no different from a contributor forking a project they have worked on and just changing the license terms to something else.

    My mini take is - Decent developers are paid a wage in their job - the open source software they are maintaining is an attempt to try and make things better as it is still free (depending on the actor, not always).
    The fundemental functionality of the software still allows people to build upon it and run it for free. If you wish to support the people that created it, (or other maintainers after the fact). Learn from them, it takes time out of their lives. You should appreciate their time if you're a corporate and pay for their time, especially considering they did you a favour to begin with. - Don't dog on them, appreciate the effort from multiple angles. - Let's not forget. If you pay for enterprise subscriptions you also have access to inside information with regards to the code, security etc..P.S what could you do with 37 billion?

    Tbh, I was always baffled by the redis labs list price. I used to work at a company that got access to redis labs clustering before open source clustering was a thing and we got roughly a 90% discount for on prem, and there is no way in hell we would have paid even 50% of list price. It makes sense that VC money is responsible for that ludicrous markup. There is a reasonable chance that between the two licenses you could use redis and integrate the client into your code without paying or releasing your source, but until that is tested in court I'm certainly not going to test it.
    Honestly though, most additional functionality put into the actual redis code base at this point is probably a mistake. Let it be really good at what it does, keep up with security, stability, and usability updates with what we have, and let stuff like AI tooling come out as a new project that utilizes or wraps redis.
